INTRODUCTION -- The lectures contained in this volume were given between 1906 and 1910 from the Chair of Poetry in the University of Oxford. With them is also now incorporated the substance of a paper read before the Classical Association at its General Meeting at Birmingham in October 1908. -- While the lectures were planned in relation to one another as parts of a single continuous scheme, the circumstances of their delivery, at long intervals, and to an audience which (like poetry itself) is being perpetually renewed, implied a large amount of recapitulation and repetition. In revising them for publication, I have thought it best not to alter their form very materially in this respect; and I hope that the amount of repetition still left will not be found excessive, while it may serve to emphasise more effectively the central ideas by which I have been zuided throughout, particularly as regards the poetical value of the Greek poets, and the way in which Greek poetry, as poetry, may best be read so as to disengage its living virtue. -- Like the lectures on English poets already published in 1909 under the title of The Springs of Helicon, this volume deals with one chapter in the larger and more comprehensive study of the Progress of Poetry.
