The Hamlet; an ode written in Whichword Forest ...… par Thomas Warton
Would have been exquisite were it not for the foxing and detached leaves
Warton's History of Poetry marks the beginning of our modern interest in mediaeval literature. Being pioneer work, it is quite unreliable and some of the theories he develops are grotesque: but what it lacks in accuracy it amply makes up in enthusiasm. He is discovering all the charm of the old writers for the first time, and infects you with his feeling, and sends you back to the feelings you had yourself as a boy. In fact, though not a great authority, it is a great book: and its very plentiful quotations will supply you with thousands of lines of old poetry which you will probably never meet elsewhere. If it is a nice edition it would make a really sound purchase for your library: and, besides being a great, it is an eminently 'dippable' book.
