James Lowell: 44 books

Lowell begins this volume of essays with a charming “Apology for a Preface.” The bulk of the book discusses English poets:  Edmund Spenser, William Shakespeare, John Milton, William Wordsworth, and John Keats. The author then turns his eye to the German writer Gotthold Ephraim Lessing as well as French-born Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the Sentimentalists.

The popular success of Lowell’s Among My Books series encouraged him to publish this eclectic collection, which includes “My Garden Acquaintance,” “A Good Word for Winter,” “On a Certain Condescension in Foreigners,” “A Great Public Character,” “Abraham Lincoln,” “Carlyle,” and “Library of Old Authors.”
