Excerpt from Anthology of Swedish Lyrics: From 1750 to 1915 The Introduction has been made as compact as possible, with the idea that it should be illustrated by reference to the translations of any given poet. For the same reason rather little is said about form, as the English stanzas give at least the scheme on which the music of the Swedish poems is modelled. The Biographical Notes are mainly statistical, repeating necessarily much of the Introduction. The General Notes give only such details as seem to be required for the understanding and enjoyment of the text.
