The Poetry of William Morris
Summary
William Morris was born in Walthamstow, London, on 24 March 1834 and is regarded today as a foremost poet, writer, textile designer, artist and libertarian. Morris began to publish poetry and short stories in 1856 through The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine, which he founded with his friends and financed while at university. His first volume, in 1858, The Defence of Guenevere and Other Poems, was the first published book of pre-Raphaelite poetry. Due to its lukewarm reception he was discouraged from poetry writing for a number of years. However, his return to the form was met with great success in the poem 'The Life and Death of Jason' in 1867, which was followed by 'The Earthly Paradise', themed around a group of medieval wanderers searching for a land of everlasting life; after much disillusion, they discover a surviving colony of Greeks with whom they exchange stories. In the collection are retellings of Icelandic sagas. From then until his Socialist period Morris' fascination with the ancient Germanic and Norse peoples dominated his writing, and he was the first to translate many of the Icelandic sagas into English; the epic retelling of the story of Sigurd the Volsung being his favourite. In 1884 he founded the Socialist League, but with the rise of the Anarchists in the party he left it in 1890, and the following year he founded the Kelmscott Press, publishing limited-edition illuminated style books. His design for The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer is a masterpiece. Morris was quietly approached with an offer of the Poet Laureateship after the death of Tennyson in 1892 but declined. William Morris died at age 62 on 3 October 1896 in London. This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialised imprint from Deadtree Publishing.

The Poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar
Summary
Paul Laurence Dunbar was born on 27th June 1872 in Dayton, Ohio. His parents had been slaves in Kentucky before the Civil War. Dunbar wrote his first poem at age six and gave his first public recital at age nine. By 16, he was already published as a poet in The Herald, a local newspaper. After completing his formal schooling in 1891, Dunbar was employed as an elevator operator, at four dollars a week. His hopes of a legal career floundered on a lack of funds and racial discrimination. However, he wrote his poetry and took every opportunity to publish. In 1892 his employers sent him to the United Brethren Publishing House which, in 1893, printed his dialect poetry, Oak and Ivy; Dunbar subsidized the printing and earned back his investment in two weeks by selling copies himself. Dunbar also wrote the lyrics for In Dahomey, the first musical written and performed entirely by African Americans. It was produced on Broadway in 1903 and then toured England and the United States for four years. After returning from a literary tour of United Kingdom, Dunbar married Alice Ruth Moore on 6th March 1898. She was a teacher and poet from New Orleans. Dunbar called her "the sweetest, smartest little girl I ever saw". Alice would become as famous as Paul during her life for her own literary works. In 1900, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis, and his doctors recommended drinking whisky to alleviate his symptoms. The couple moved to Colorado, as the cold, dry mountain air was considered favorable for his health. Dunbar and Alice separated in 1902 but never divorced. But depression and declining health drove him to depend on alcohol, and his health deteriorated. His short career was prolific; a dozen books of poetry, four books of short stories, four novels, lyrics for In Dahomey and a play. Dunbar’s essays and poems were published widely in leading journals including Harper's Weekly and The Saturday Evening Post. He was also a committed civil rights activist. In 1904, he returned to Dayton to be with his mother. Paul Laurence Dunbar died of tuberculosis on 9th February 1906, at the age of only 33.

The Poetry of Algeron Charles Swinburne
Summary
Algernon Charles Swinburne was born on April 5th, 1837, in London, into a wealthy Northumbrian family. He was educated at Eton and at Balliol College, Oxford, but did not complete a degree. In 1860 Swinburne published two verse dramas but achieved his first literary success in 1865 with Atalanta in Calydon, written in the form of classical Greek tragedy. The following year Poems and Ballads brought him instant notoriety. He was now identified with 'indecent' themes and the precept of art for art's sake. Although he produced much after this success, in general his popularity and critical reputation declined. The most important qualities of Swinburne's work are an intense lyricism, his intricately extended and evocative imagery, metrical virtuosity, rich use of assonance and alliteration and bold, complex rhythms. Swinburne's physical appearance was small, frail and plagued by several other oddities of physique and temperament. Throughout the 1860s and 1870s he drank excessively and was prone to accidents that often left him bruised, bloody, or unconscious. Until his 40s he suffered intermittent physical collapses that necessitated removal to his parents' home while he recovered. Throughout his career Swinburne also published literary criticism of great worth. His deep knowledge of world literatures contributed to a critical style rich in quotation, allusion, and comparison. He is particularly noted for discerning studies of Elizabethan dramatists and of many English and French poets and novelists. As well he was a noted essayist and wrote two novels. In 1879, Swinburne's friend and literary agent, Theodore Watts-Dunton, intervened during a time when Swinburne was dangerously ill. Watts-Dunton isolated Swinburne at a suburban home in Putney and gradually weaned him from alcohol, former companions and many other habits as well. Much of his poetry in this period may be inferior, but some individual poems are exceptional: 'By the North Sea', 'Evening on the Broads', 'A Nympholept', 'The Lake of Gaube' and 'Neap-Tide'. Swinburne lived another 30 years with Watts-Dunton. He denied Swinburne's friends access to him, controlled the poet's money, and restricted his activities. It is often quoted that 'he saved the man but killed the poet'. Swinburne died on April 10th, 1909, at the age of 72.

The Poetry of Anne Bradstreet
Summary
Anne Bradstreet was born in 1612 in Northampton, England. Her parents' position allowed them to educate Anne across many subjects, which was unusual for its day. In her teens, she contracted smallpox, which was to undermine her health in later years. She married Simon at the age of 16. They, along with her parents, emigrated to America with other Puritans in 1630, arriving on June 14 in Massachusetts. They moved south to Charlestown almost immediately to find better conditions. After a short stay, they moved yet farther south to help found the ‘City on the Hill’, Boston. By 1632 they had moved once more, this time to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Anne gave birth to her first child, Samuel. The family was instrumental in setting up Harvard University in 1636, but by the early 1640s, Anne, pregnant with her sixth child, and her family, moved for the sixth time to Andover Parish. In all, Anne bore eight children although her health was always weak. She did, however, write some beautiful poetry, and in 1650, the Rev. John Woodbridge had her collection of verse, The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America, composed by 'A Gentlewoman from Those Parts', published in London, making Anne the first female poet ever published in both England and the New World. On July 10, 1666, their North Andover family home burned down to leave them homeless. Tragically, her own personal library of some 800 books was also lost in the flames. By now, Anne's health was slowly failing. She suffered from tuberculosis and had to deal with the loss of cherished relatives. But her will remained strong and her faith in God undiminished. Anne Bradstreet died on September 16, 1672 in North Andover, Massachusetts, at the age of 60. This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialised imprint from Deadtree Publishing.
