Sinopsis
Excerpt from Notes on Poems and Reviews
Certain poems of mine, it appears, have been impugned by judges, with or without a name, as indecent or as blasphemous. To me, as I have intimated, their verdict is a matter of infinite indifference: it is of equally small moment to me whether in such eyes as theirs I appear moral or immoral, Christian or pagan. But, remembering that science must not scorn to investigate animalcules and infusoria, I am ready for once to play the anatomist.

Excerpt from Notes on Poems and Reviews
The work is not fruitful of pleasure, of honour, or of profit; but, like other such tasks, it may be none the less useful and necessary. I am aware that it cannot be accomplished without some show of egotism; and I am perforce prepared to incur the consequent charge of arrogance. The office of commentator of my own works has been forced upon me by circumstances connected with the issue and re-issue of my last book. I am compelled to look sharply into it, and inquire what passage, what allusion, or what phrase can have drawn down such sudden thunder from the serene heavens of public virtue. A mere libeller I have no wish to encounter; I leave it to saints to fight with beasts at Ephesus or nearer. "For in these strifes, and on such persons, it were as wretched to affect a victory, as it is unhappy to be committed with them."

But, remembering that science must not scorn to investigate animalcules and infusoria, I am ready for once to play the anatomist.
With regard to any opinion implied or expressed throughout my book, I desire that one thing should be remembered: the book is dramatic, many-faced, multifarious; and no utterance of enjoyment or despair, belief or unbelief, can properly be assumed as the assertion of its author's personal feeling or faith. Were each poem to be accepted as the deliberate outcome and result of the writer's conviction, not mine alone but most other men's verses would leave nothing behind them but a sense of cloudy chaos and suicidal contradiction.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compelling and detailed analysis of the works and controversies surrounding a notable, yet unnamed author. It delves into the specific accusations of blasphemy and obscenity levelled against two of the authorâs poems, âAnactoriaâ and âDoloresâ. The author provides an in-depth exploration of the historical and literary significance of these poems, drawing parallels to works by esteemed poets like Sappho and Shelley, and examining the broader cultural and religious context in which they were created. Through a thorough examination of the authorâs intentions, the book sheds light on the complex themes of desire, passion, and the nature of art itself. It argues that true artistic purity lies not in prudishness, but in the honest and unflinching portrayal of human experience. The authorâs insights illuminate the ongoing debate surrounding the limits of artistic expression, challenging conventional notions of morality and highlighting the importance of free speech and open dialogue in the pursuit of artistic excellence. Ultimately, this book serves as a valuable contribution to the discourse on the role and responsibility of artists in society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330826935_0
