UC-NRLF 157 STUDY OUTLINE SERIES THE NEW POETRY PREPARED BY MARY PRESCOTT PARSONS THE H. W. WILSON COMPANY NEW YORK 1919 The Study Outline and Its Use The series includes outlines on art, literature, travel, biography, history and present day questions. The outlines vary in length. If more topics are given than the number of club meetings for the season, those topics that are more difficult to handle or on which there is less available material, may be dropped. If there are fewer topics than the scheduled meetings, certain topics may be divided. Lists of books are appended to most of the outlines. It would be well for the club to own some of the recom- mended books. Others can be obtained either from the local public library or from the state traveling library. When very full lists are given it is not necessary for any club to use all the books, but the longer list gives more room for choice. The best material on some subjects may be found, not in books, but in magazines. These may be looked up un- der the subject in the Readers' Guide to Periodical Liter- ature. Magazine articles can sometimes be purchased from The H. W. Wilson Company at moderate rates. A list of the study outlines now in print will be found on pages three and four of this cover. For later addi- tions to the list write to publisher. THE NEW POETRY THE NEW POETRY A STUDY OUTLINE PREPARED BY MARY PRESCOTT PARSONS . THE H. W.

The amount of biographical and crit- ical material easily available in books and magazines, has been a determining factor in the choice of the poets to be studied, just as the appearance of a poet's work in anthologies has, to a large extent, governed the selection of readings given in the last program. It will be found possible, and delightful, to read all the published work of most of these poets. The readings given in this program suggest some of the best and most representative poems of each author, which would be in- teresting for reading aloud. This outline may be used in either of two ways. The ground can be covered thoroughly by the use of all the books and magazines listed in the bibliographies, or more briefly with only the anthologies and the critical books marked *. Publishers and prices are given in the bibliographies for books which can now be bought in the United States. In almost every state in this country, it will be pos- sible for clubs or individuals to borrow the books from the Public Library Commission of the state or from the State Library, if application is made at the local Public Library, or, in case of a community without a Public Library, to the State Commission or the State Library.

BIBLIOGRAPHY This bibliography is made up of anthologies and crit- ical books which include a number of poets. Books written by or about individual poets are given, with full information, in the lists of references for the particular programs to which they refer, as are also magazine articles. The bibliographies do not aim to be complete but to represent each poet's best work with the best critical and biographical material. The outline may be followed by using just the books marked * if all the books are not easily available. In this case, the anthologies should be supplemented by poems published in magazines and indexed in the Readers' guide to periodical literature under the names of the in- dividual poets.
