Book Description
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Adelaide Crapsey was an innovative poet, whose interest in rhythm and metre led her to create a unique variation on the ‘cinquain’, a five-line form of 22 syllables inspired by the Japanese haiku. Her surviving poetry was mostly produced in her final years, before her untimely death at the age of thirty-six. In recent years, her poems have received increased recognition, celebrated for their disciplined, yet fragile brilliance, confirming her status as a pioneer of twentieth century modernism. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. This volume presents Crapsey’s complete poetical works, with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Book Description
The French dramatist and poet Alfred de Musset was a prominent figure of the Romantic Movement, who had come under the influence of Charles Nodier, Alfred de Vigny and Victor Hugo from an early age.

Now regarded as one of the most imaginative prose writers of the nineteenth century, George Borrow was an English traveler, linguist and translator. His many adventures, including contact with the Romani, provided the inspiration for his travel book masterpiece ‘Lavengro’ and its sequel ‘The Romany Rye’ (1857). While working in Spain for a Bible society, Borrow found his literary homeland, providing materials for ‘The Zincali’ and for his brilliantly picturesque travel book ‘The Bible in Spain’, which was a tremendous success.
