Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Keble´s Lectures on Poetry, 1832-1841, Vol. 1 of 2 ´This outline fails to do justice to a volume which Dean Church has called "the most original and memorable course ever delivered from the Chair of Poetry in Oxford": and Bishop Moberly, in even stronger praise, "One of the most charming and valuable volumes of classical criticism that ever issued from the press." But it may serve to draw the attention of a later generation to it and may suggest the advisability of an English translation´ (Dr. Lock, John Keble: A Biography, p. 49). ´An English edition would be most welcome and would do much to enhance the lecturer´s reputation ´ (National Observer, then edited by the late Mr. W. E. Henley, vol. ix (New Series), p. 420: in a review of Dr. Lock´s Biography). ´Not the least critical genius that ever adorned the Oxford chair was possessed by John Keble... Still the Praelectiones themselves must of course always be Keble´s own touchstone or rather his ground and matter of assay. And he comes out well. The dedication (a model of stately enthusiasm) to Wordsworth as non solum dulcissimae poeseos verum etiam divinae veritatis antistes strikes the key-note of the whole. But it may be surprising to some to find how´ "broad" Keble is in spite of his inflexible morality and his uncompromising churchmanship. He was kept right partly, no doubt, by holding fast as a matter of theory to the "Delight" test; pure and virtuous delight of course, but still delight, first of all and most of all.
