Frederic W. H. Myers

1843–1901


Frederic William Henry Myers (1843–1901) was a British poet, classicist and philologist, and a founder of the Society for Psychical Research.

The poems here are taken from Alfred H. Miles (ed.), The Poets and the Poetry of the Century (London: Hutchinson, 1891–1897), vol. 8, from the Internet Archive scans of that edition. Spelling is that of the anthology; Miles's biographical essay and extracts from longer poems are omitted, and only poems that could be read cleanly from the scan are included.
