Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Springs of Helicon: A Study in the Progress of English, Poetry From Chaucer to Milton The substance of this volume consists of lectures given from the Chair of Poetry at Oxford in the autumn terms of the years 1906 to 1908. They have been revised and slightly expanded for the purposes of publication. The volume is, as its title states, a study in the progress of English poetry. It forms one chapter in the subject with which the author proposed to deal during his tenure of the Chair; that subject being the Progress of Poetry, or in other words, the consideration of poetry as a progressive function and continuous interpretation of life. Poetry may be thus regarded, and it is thus that Gray regards it in his great Ode, whether in relation to the life of the individual from youth to age, to the life of a single nation or language, or to the larger movement and progress of the life of mankind as it successively embodies itself in different ages and countries, and is there re-embodied and reinterpreted by art.
