About this product

Product Information

Here, collected in a single volume, are the most popular verses of the great English-born Canadian poet. His famous ballads of the Klondike are here: "The Shooting of Dan McGrew," "The Spell of the Yukon," and "The Cremation of Sam McGee." Also included are unforgettable portrayals of the artists, grisettes, and models of the merry, tragic life of bohemian Paris, and other verses inspire by the First World War, during which Service drove an ambulance in France. And not to be overlooked are the many expressions of the poet's own homespun philosophy--his comments on women, on life and death, ambition, and success and failure, which strike a responsive chord in the reader's heart. Gaiety, humor, nostalgia, and pathos fill every page, along with the genuine Service ring of virility which has made his verse loved throughout the English reading world.

    The Best of Robert Service by Robert Service (1976)

    Joyce Kilmer may be more well known but Service is the classic poet for anyone with an interest in WWI, Alaska or the Yukon. Most have heard his "Cremation of Sam McGee" or other tales of the gold rush. His Yukon/Alaska poems are the things campfires are made of at youth summer camps. His insightful grasp of World War I is lesser known but equally as clear. Robert Service remains popular today in part due to his command of the language and themes that continue to interest modern readers, especially, but not exclusively, men. This particular compilation is a mix of the genre Service mastered. Robert Service remains in print and his early additions are easy to find . This edition is a must for the casual reader as well as the serious fan.
