Poetical Works of Robert Bridges, Volume 4
Bridges, Robert
English drama; English poetry
_WORLD._—‘Beautiful and scholarly ... Mr. Bridges has firmly
established himself in the favour of students of poetry, and the
present edition should still further extend the appreciation of a
writer whose work is always poetic and sincere.’
_BOOKMAN._—‘Mr. Bridges is more than an excellent craftsman ... He
is of those that speak to the heart, and not merely to the aesthetic
senses.’
VOLUME II. Shorter Poems—New Poems—Notes. Small Post 8vo, 6_s._
_DAILY CHRONICLE._—‘Mr. Bridges is an artist whose work cannot fail to
give pleasure to all who care for artistry in English verse ... We find
here in full measure his sane and manly spirit, his love of life, of
beauty and of England, his refinement of thought and of form, his cool
and fresh lyric quality.’
_SCOTSMAN._—‘This new edition cannot but do good to English poetry all
the world over, if it makes Mr. Bridges and his work better known than
they are.’
_GLASGOW HERALD._—‘Mr. Robert Bridges, as a poet, has one supreme
merit. He is always clear, pure, and understandable; so that it is
ever a pleasure to read his verse, which is charged with knowledge of
nature, her aspects, moods, and melodies ... Indeed, in reading the
poems of Mr. Bridges one cannot but think that he is a reincarnation of
some one of the noble ancient poets.’
VOLUME III. The First Part of Nero—Achilles in Scyros—Notes. Small
Post 8vo, 6_s._
_MONTHLY REVIEW._—‘Of these two fine plays the first is perhaps the
more interesting, the second the more beautiful. The reader will find
in it (Nero) the keen pleasure of an imperial game of chess.’
_ST. JAMES’S GAZETTE._—‘Mr. Bridges is a poet who has established the
right to be read as a whole by all who take contemporary literature
seriously.’
_MANCHESTER GUARDIAN._—’The verse has a likeness to that of the strong
and level Massinger, but is full of little deliberate experiments
... It is poetry fresh and exultant, breaking upwards through
“scholarship”.’
