Description
This book is story of Holmes is the fourth in a series which includes the poems and dramas of Longfellow, Whittier, and Browning. the author enabled him to illustrate a career devoid, even more than that of most poets, of adventure or dramatic incident. The head-notes, in like manner, could frequently be supplied from comment occurring in the author's prose writings and in prefaces to separate publications of poems, but very many of the poems are so self-explanatory that the reader requires no introduction.
