Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from English Elegies It is not easy to say quite exactly what an elegy is. The word, like all such words, like epic, lyric, dramatic, like poetry itself, comes to us from the Greeks. The conception of an elegy was, in fact, left somewhat undefined by the Greeks: and so it still remains. The task of distinguishing between the different kinds of poetry is, indeed, only less difficult than that of finding a definition of the nature of poetry itself. We all have some sort of vague idea of what we mean by an elegy, as of what we understand by the word poetry, but when we set ourselves to convert the vague idea into a clear and definite one we are likely to find that we have faced a difficult task. And I do not know of much help to be obtained in this case from the recognised critical authorities. Coleridge has, indeed, attempted a definition. "Elegy," he says, "is the form of poetry natural to the reflective mind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
