Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book establishes the English poet Mark Akenside (1721-1770) as a distinctive voice in 18th-century British literature and a forerunner of Romanticism. An accomplished physician, his creative literary career began with poems appearing in the popular Gentleman's Magazine while he was still a teenager. The son of a butcher, he managed through his talent and determination to obtain a medical degree from the University of Leyden, all the while honing his literary skills with ambitious poetic works, most notably his didactic poem The Pleasures of Imagination (1744). This book explores the author's wide-ranging erudition and his immersion in classical literature and philosophy, situating him within the broader context of Enlightenment thought. Through a detailed examination of his verse, including his influential Odes on Several Subjects (1745), this book illuminates the evolution of Akenside's poetic style, from his early emulation of established forms to his later, more personal and innovative approach. It sheds light on the tensions between his scientific and artistic pursuits, revealing how his medical knowledge informed his understanding of the human condition and his place within the natural world. Ultimately, this book presents Akenside as a pivotal figure in the transition from the neoclassicism of the early 18th century to the burgeoning Romanticism of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, making him an essential subject of study for scholars of both literary history and medicine.
