Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
