The Book of Recitations is a compilation of passages from the works of the best poets and dramatists, originally published in 1857 by Charles William Smith. The book features a diverse selection of pieces, including dramatic monologues, soliloquies, and speeches, as well as short poems and excerpts from longer works. The collection includes selections from renowned writers such as William Shakespeare, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, as well as lesser-known poets and playwrights. The Book of Recitations was designed to be used by actors, speakers, and orators as a source of material for recitation, and the pieces are arranged thematically to make it easy to find appropriate selections for any occasion. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of literature or public speaking, and it offers a glimpse into the tastes and preferences of readers in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
