Excerpt from Life and Letters of Edmund Clarence Stedman, Vol. 2

In a copy "Victorian Poets" belonging to a friend, Mr. Stedman, by request, in 1903, wrote these words: "This book grew out of a study of R. H. Stoddard's 'Late English Poets' - a review of which I contributed, at Mr. Lowell's request, to the North American Review, in 1865 or '66. Five years later I made the study of 'Tennyson and Theocritus' (see Chap. VI) which appeared in the Atlantic Monthly. The interest excited by it led me to write the other essays, mostly for Scribner's Monthly, which I afterward revised and collected in 'Victorian Poets.' The prefix 'Victorian' had not previously become familiar."

"It is not a hand-book," he told a correspondent; "I wrote it to tell my ideas of poetry. It was ever my wish to express my opinions in this way, if I became independent. I wrote passages of the 'Victorian Poets' at College."

Some years later, sending his enlarged "Victorian Poets," and its companion volume "Poets of America," to Professor Woodberry, we find this letter:

I would like to have you read the Prefaces - there are two in the English volume. Also, I would have you bear in mind that the "Victorian Poets" was a pioneer attempt, in these parts, to set forth the canons of the poetic art as I conceived them, and to do so by a kind of "demonstrative anatomy."
