The English Poet Laureate from 1913 to 1930, Robert Bridges produced verse noted for its restraint, purity, precision and delicacy, yet strength of expression. It represents a distinct theory of prosody and his devout faith underpinned much of his work. Although he published several long poems and poetic dramas, his reputation rests upon the lyrics collected in 'Shorter Poems', while 'New Verse' features experiments using a metre based on syllables rather than accents. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature's finest poets, with superior formatting. This volume presents Bridges' complete poetical works (except for one poem), with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
