Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A Fable for Critics is a book-length poem by American writer James Russell Lowell, first published anonymously in 1848. The poem made fun of well-known poets and critics of the time and brought notoriety to its author. John Ruskin labeled the poem in animal spirit and power... almost beyond anything I know". Oliver Wendell Holmes found it "capital—crammed full and rammed down hard—with powder (lots of it)—shot—slugs—very little wadding... all crowded into a rusty-looking sort of blunderbuss barrel, as it were—capped with a percussion preface—and cocked with a title page as apropos as a wink to a joke". Henry Wadsworth Longfellow compared it to Lord Byron''s "English Bards" as being "full of wild wit and deviltry, and amazingly clever". Lowell''s friends objected to the intense criticism of Fuller, specifically William Wetmore Story and Thomas Wentworth Higginson."
