Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

The essay here reprinted is the initial one in Leigh Hunt s Imagitiation and Fatuy which is among the very best of his prose works. In the Preface to that volume, which was published in 1844, he thus describes his object in writing it :to furnish such an account, in an Essay, of the nature and requirements of poetry, as may enable readers in general to give an answer on those points to themselves and others! The whole volume is suggestive, so much so that Ruskin refers to it as an admirable piece of criticism, and adds that it ought to be read with care M odem Painters Vol. III., Of Imagination Penetrative ). Still, the opening essay is the only part of the book which bears the character of sustained exposition, the remainder consisting mostly of poetical extracts, with brief introductions and comments ;it is, accordingly the part which is likely to prove most acceptable to students of the theory and art of poetry.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
