October and Other Poems
This is a collection of poetry by Robert Bridges. This collection also contains some poems written right after World War I, reflecting the state of international politics very impressively. “This miscellaneous volume is composed of three sections. The first twelve poems were written in 1913, and printed privately by Mr. Hornby in 1914. The last of these poems proved to be a “war poem,” and on that follow eighteen pieces which were called forth on occasion during the War, the last being a broadsheet on the surrender of the German ships. All of these verses appeared in some journal or serial. There were a few others, but they are not included in this collection, either because they are lost, or because they show decidedly inferior claims to salvage. The last six poems or sonnets are of various dates.” – Summary by Carolin [chương_files]

Poems and Ballads
This is a volume of poetry by Heinrich Heine, translated by Emma Lazarus. The poetry of Heinrich Heine is still widely read today within Germany, and this fine translation by Emma Lazarus has added to a greater readership in English-speaking countries at the time it was published (1881). – Summary by Carolin [chương_files]

Poems & Songs
This is a volume of poetry by English poet Richard Middleton. While hardly known to readers anymore today, Middleton’s poems, stories, and essays were all very highly regarded during his lifetime and after his untimely death, having won the admiration of many of his contemporary critics and writers whose fame endured longer than that of Middleton himself. A look into this volume of poetry should convince the reader or listener that Middleton’s poetry certainly deserves much more attention than is currently given it. – Summary by Carolin [chương_files]
