Cap And Gown; A Treasury Of College Verse

By Frederic Lawrence Knowles

Book Overview

A quiet triumph of voice and memory, Cap And Gown invites you into a world where study, aspiration, and youth intertwine with the ordinary textures of daily life. Read as a tapestry of campus life reflections, it speaks with clarity and warmth to readers who cherish verse as a companion through early mornings, late nights, and the promise of what comes after. This collection gathers Frederic Knowles's early twentieth-century British university poetry into a refined ballot of moods: celebrations of study, meditations on friendship and duty, and sketches of the old Edwardian campus. It is more than a period piece; it is a study in how a young mind fashions meaning from lectures, libraries, and late railways home. The verses are accessible yet resonant, inviting casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike to savour a campus poetry classics that remains relevant for today's classrooms and reading lists.

For readers seeking a poised, thoughtful foray into college poetry anthology traditions, and for classroom reading anthology staples that speak with a genuine, human voice, this volume stands as a faithful, lasting beacon of youth and aspiration.
