Wasps' Honey: Or Poetic Gold And Gems Of Poetic Thought (1868)

by Richard Howitt and Research Fellow Both at Department of Geography Richard Howitt

""Wasps' Honey: Or Poetic Gold And Gems Of Poetic Thought"" is a book of poetry compiled by Richard Howitt and published in 1868. The collection features works from various poets, including Shakespeare, Byron, Wordsworth, and Tennyson, as well as lesser-known writers. The title of the book comes from the idea that, like honey produced by wasps, the poems in the collection are valuable and beautiful despite their origins being considered less than ideal. The poems cover a range of themes, including nature, love, and spirituality, and are arranged thematically rather than chronologically or by author. The book is a celebration of the power and beauty of poetry, and aims to provide readers with a diverse and engaging collection of works to enjoy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
