Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the lifework and writings of some of the most significant poets in the English literary canon. The author begins by discussing the work of Petrarch in the context of the Italian Renaissance, emphasizing the poet's role in the revival of classical learning. The author then turns to the work of four major English poets: Goldsmith, Gray, Collins, and Pope. The author discusses each poet's unique contribution to English literature, from Goldsmith's charming depictions of rural life to Gray's melancholy reflections on mortality. The author also examines the influence of Pope's polished and witty verse on the development of the heroic couplet. The author concludes by discussing the work of Cowper, Thomson, Young, Alfieri, Crabbe, Shelley, Hunt, Byron, Moore, Rogers, Burns, Campbell, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Barry Cornwall, Mrs. Hemans, Tennyson, and Miss Barrett. Through insightful analysis and engaging prose, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the major poets and poetic movements in English literary history.
