Synopsis

This book explores the concept of studying poetry with the purpose of deriving significant insights into life's complexities. The author argues that in an age where many institutions are facing increased scrutiny, poetry provides a unique lens for interpreting and navigating the human experience. The author traces the historical development of poetry from its earliest origins to the present day, identifying key movements and their contributions to the wider field of literature. Along the way, the book explores the techniques and approaches that students can adopt to engage deeply with poetry, particularly emphasizing the importance of a 'real estimate' of a work's value, as opposed to estimates based on historical context or personal preference. Ultimately, this book serves as a guide for readers of all backgrounds, providing an accessible and insightful exploration of poetry's transformative power.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The collection of Essays contained in this volume was made by Mr. Arnold himself, and they are, therefore, in the opinion of a critic, at once competent and severe, worthy to be collected and preserved. Severe is perhaps hardly an epithet ever properly applicable toM r. Arnold ;but his judgment was as serene and unbiassed in regard to his own compositions as in regard to those of any author whom from time to time he criticised. But it was further characteristic of him to be content to say one thing at one time ;and he has been accused, not perhaps entirely without reason, of repeating the same thing in the same words, sometimes almost to the weariness of the reader. This habit, however, had at least the effect of fixing in the mind the phrases.
