His longer poems are Alice of See also:Monmouth: an See also:Idyl of the See also:Great War (1864); The Blameless See also:Prince (1869), an See also:allegory of See also:good deeds, supposed to have been remotely suggested by the See also:life of Prince See also:Albert; and an elaborate commemorative See also:ode on See also:Hawthorne, read before the Harvard Phi Beta Kappa Society in 1877.

This study appeared in See also:separate chapters in Scribner's Monthly now the Century See also:Magazine, and was reissued, with enlargements, in the volumes entitled Victorian Poets (1875; continued to the See also:Jubilee See also:year in the edition of 1887) and Poets of See also:America (1885), the two See also:works forming the most symmetrical body of See also:literary See also:criticism yet published in the See also:United States. Their value is increased by the See also:treatise on The Nature and Elements of Poetry (See also:Boston, 1892)—a See also:work of great critical insight as well as technical knowledge. He died in New York on the 18th of See also:January 1908.
