The Cambridge Edition is the best, in one volume. The Globe Edition is in two volumes. The two volumes in _Everyman’s Library_ contain all of Browning’s poems written up to 1864. A good volume for the young reader is “The Boys’ Browning,” which contains poems of action and incident. An inexpensive volume, published by Smith, Elder & Co., called “The Brownings for the Young,” contains a good variety of Browning, with some selections from Mrs. Browning. WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT (1794-1878). _Poetical Works._ The poems of Bryant are published in one volume by D. Appleton & Co. Bryant’s translations of the “Iliad” and the “Odyssey” are better than most poetic versions of Homer in simplicity and dignity. The young reader cannot do better than to meet Homer in Bryant before he learns Greek enough to meet Homer himself. ROBERT BURNS (1759-96). _Poems, Songs, and Letters._ The complete work of Burns in the Globe Edition (Macmillan). GEORGE GORDON NOEL BYRON (1788-1824). _Poetry of Byron._ A selection by Matthew Arnold in the _Golden Treasury Series_. CHARLES STUART CALVERLEY (1831-84). _Fly Leaves._ A taste for refined parody indicates the possession of a critical sense. Coarse parody which implies no intimate knowledge of the poet parodied is not worth while. The reader who appreciates Calverley’s delicious verses will have learned to appreciate the serious modern poets. Other writers of humorous verse, including parodies which are delicate and witty, are J. K. Stephen, Mr. Owen Seaman, Henry Cuyler Bunner. THOMAS CAMPBELL (1777-1844). Enough of Campbell will be found in Ward’s Poets. GEORGE CHAPMAN (1559-1634). _Dramas._ One volume in the _Mermaid Series_. (See pages 243-8 of this Guide.) GEOFFREY CHAUCER (1340-1400). _Canterbury Tales._ A volume in _Everyman’s Library_ contains eighteen of the tales, slightly simplified in spelling and vocabulary, said to be the first successful attempt to modernize Chaucer, for the benefit of the ordinary reader, without destroying the essential quality of the original. But with the glossary and notes found in “The Student’s Chaucer,” edited by W. W. Skeat, the lover of poetry will find himself able to read Chaucer in the original form without great difficulty. ARTHUR HUGH CLOUGH (1819-61). _Poems._ In the _Golden Treasury Series_. Readers of poetry who have not met Clough have an entirely new poetical experience before them in “The Bothie,” a narrative poem. It should be tried after Longfellow’s “Miles Standish” and “Evangeline.” Clough was not among the greatest Victorian poets, but there is room for him in an age like ours which is said, whether justly or not, to be lacking in poetic voices. In this connection readers may turn to Clough’s poem, “Come, Poet Come!” (see page 107 of this Guide). SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE (1772-1834). _Poetical Works._ In the Globe Edition. The single volume in _Everyman’s Library_ is adequate. WILLIAM COWPER (1731-1800). _Poetical Works._
