500 American Masterpieces This superb collections covers a period of three hundred years. Three-quarters of its space is devoted to the poetry of the twentieth century, including a generous representation of the new

and exciting works of the younger poets of the 1940's and 1950's. Traditional favorites like LONGFELLOW, LOWELL and WHITTIER are represented. But the richness of such major and more

modern figures as EMILY DICKINSON, WALLACE

STEVENS, ROBERT FROST, E. E, CUMMINGS, w. H. AUDEN, etc., is given full scope by the inclusion of substantial selections from their work.
