Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Goldsmith´s Traveller and Gray´s Elegy in a Country Church-Yard: With Lives, Notes and Examination Questions The poet reflects his age. Its modes of thought is prevailing sentiments, its tastes, are all faithfully mirrored in his writings. He is the most sensitive of men. These things make a deeper impression upon him than upon others. Though looking to future ages for the applause which the present may deny, yet he cannot afford to overlook that present, and so, writes what the public taste of the day most highly appreciates. Hence, his utterances are always deeply colored by the prevalent opinions of the time, moulded by the spirit of the age, and modified by its dominant tendencies. For this reason, we have the so-called schools of poetry, as the natural school of Chaucer, the artificial school of Pope, the romantic school of Scott and Byron, and the present school of which Tennyson and Browning are the chief representatives. In view of the intimate connection between the poet and his age, and of the influence which they reciprocally exert upon each other, it is essential to the intelligent appreciation of his productions, to have some acquaintance with the times in which he lived. To assist the student in this respect is the object of the present chapter. Chaucer, the great father of English poetry, was the acknowledged inventor of the English heroic line. This measure, so well adapted to the genius of the language, speedily became the favorite verse, and each succeeding poet and poetaster attempted to add something towards perfecting this accentual form of versification.
