Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life in Poetry: Law in Taste; Two Series of Lectures Delivered in Oxford, 1895 1900 Even those of my predecessors who have been called with higher qualifications than myself to discourse on Poetry before the University of Oxford must, on contemplating their duties, have felt that they had to face a problem of peculiar difficulty. The Professor of Poetry enjoys what I believe is the unique honour of being raised to his Chair by the vote of Convocation. Yet though he may thus be said to represent the oldest seat of learning in the British Empire on a subject of the deepest interest to the human imagination, he finds himself launched on this wide sea of thought without chart or compass or any kind of external instruction to guide him in the course which he is expected to steer. He is, indeed, bound to deliver three lectures yearly during his tenure of the Chair. But as to the subject-matter of these lectures he is under no obligation.
