''The Poets and Poetry of America'' was a popular anthology of American poetry collected by American literary critic and editor Rufus Wilmot Griswold. It was first published in 1842 and went into several editions throughout the 19th century. ==Background== Rufus Griswold had begun work as a critic working for the ''New York Tribune''〔Silverman, Kenneth. ''Edgar A. Poe: Mournful and Never-ending Remembrance''. New York: Harper-Perennial, 1991: 213. ISBN 0-06-092331-8〕 and Philadelphia's ''Daily Standard'' and earned his reputation as a vindictive and savage literary critic.〔Meyers, Jeffrey. ''Edgar Allan Poe: His Life and Legacy''. New York: Cooper Square Press, 1992: 126. ISBN 0-8154-1038-7〕 He was also a proponent of American poetry. He claimed to have read every American poem published before 1850—an estimated 500 volumes.〔Brooks, Van Wyck. ''The Flowering of New England''. New York: E. P. Dutton and Company, Inc., 1952: 520〕 His nationalism was well-known. Publisher Evert Augustus Duyckinck noted that "the thought (a national literature ) seems to have entered and taken possession of () mind with the force of monomania".〔Lewis, R. W. B. ''The American Adam: Innocence, Tragedy, and Tradition in the Nineteenth Century''. Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1955: 81.〕 His anthology was part of his ongoing efforts to promote distinctly American poetry.
