Eolopoesis: American Rejected Addresses; Now First Published From The Original Manuscripts is a book written by Jacob Bigelow. It is a collection of satirical poems that were originally written and submitted to the Harvard Phi Beta Kappa Society in the early 19th century. However, these poems were rejected by the society for being too humorous and irreverent. The book contains 25 of these rejected poems, which were rediscovered by Bigelow in the Harvard archives. The poems are written in the style of British poet James Smith and his brother Horace, who had written a popular collection of satirical poems called Rejected Addresses. Eolopoesis includes poems on a variety of topics, including politics, religion, education, and society. The poems are witty and clever, poking fun at the foibles and follies of American life in the early 19th century. Overall, Eolopoesis provides a fascinating glimpse into the humor and satire of early American literature, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American literature or the development of American humor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
