The Pageant of English Poetry (Primeira Edição)

The Pageant of English Poetry

Being 1150 Poems and Extracts by 300 Authors

Oxford University Press, 1909

Edited by Henry Frowde

Esta edição monumental da Oxford University Press, publicada em 1909 sob a direção de Henry Frowde, reúne um impressionante acervo de 1150 poemas e excertos poéticos de 300 autores da literatura inglesa, oferecendo uma verdadeira celebração do lirismo anglo-saxão desde o Renascimento até o século XIX. Organizada com apuro editorial, a obra contempla nomes fundamentais da poesia britânica e americana, atravessando escolas, épocas e estilos, e permitindo uma leitura panorâmica e cronológica da evolução estética e temática da poesia em língua inglesa.

Entre os destaques desta coletânea encontram-se textos de poetas como Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare, John Milton, Alexander Pope, William Wordsworth, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Emily Brontë e Walt Whitman. A edição também apresenta autores menos conhecidos hoje, mas cujas vozes poéticas foram essenciais em seu tempo, compondo um mosaico literário abrangente e historicamente valioso.

O projeto gráfico da obra reflete a sobriedade editorial da Oxford, com tipografia clássica e papel de época levemente amarelado pelo tempo. Este exemplar em particular apresenta encadernação antiga e interior bem preservado, sendo uma peça notável tanto para leitores interessados quanto para colecionadores exigentes.
