| Summary |
"Anthology of Magazine Verse for 1914" by William Stanley Braithwaite is a collection of poetry and literary criticism written in the early 20th century. This anthology compiles notable poems published in various magazines during that year, showcasing emerging themes and forms of American poetry while offering insights into the literary landscape of the time. The beginning of this anthology introduces the reader to the editor's perspective on the role of poetry in relation to life and reality. Braithwaite emphasizes the disconnect between modern society's perception of poetry—often viewed as unrelated to day-to-day existence—and the truth of its deep engagement with human experience. He discusses the evolution of poetry throughout the early 20th century and sets the stage for the included works, signaling a celebration of the vibrant and significant contributions of contemporary poets during a time of cultural change and global unrest, particularly in the context of the European war. Braithwaite's confidence in the richness of the selected poetry reflects his belief that it embodies essential truths about life, emotion, and human connection despite the chaotic world.
