Remembered Yesterdays

1923. With illustrations. The memoirs of the American poet, translator, and editor of Century Magazine, Robert Underwood Johnson. Johnson was by temperament a latter-day Romantic. His poetic models were the Georgians, Tennyson, the Brownings, Shelley, and Keats. With these last three he shared a passion for Italy serving as the American Ambassador. After the success of his 1910 occasional poem St. Gaudens, An Ode, Johnson was widely regarded as America's unofficial Poet Laureate.
