Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a profound examination of the multifaceted theory of poetry that developed in the Western literary tradition from the 16th through the 19th centuries. The author presents a historical overview of the major doctrines and ideas that have shaped the landscape of poetic theory in this period, drawing on a rich tapestry of authoritative sources, from Aristotle to Coleridge. The book explores the concept of poetry as an imitative art, delving into the intricate relationship between poetry and nature, and the debates surrounding the role of the poet as an imitator or an inspired creator. It dissects the enduring principles of poetic structure and style, including detailed discussions on the nature and function of poetic language, meter, and rhyme. The author also examines the evolution of critical standards and the criteria used to evaluate poetry, tracing the shift from the rigid rules of Neoclassicism to the more nuanced and subjective approaches of Romanticism. Through a meticulous analysis of seminal literary works, the author sheds light on the interplay between theory and practice, illustrating how theoretical precepts have influenced the actual creation of poetry. This book is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of literature, providing a comprehensive and insightful examination of the fundamental principles that have shaped the theory and practice of poetry throughout history.
