Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of English poetry from 1740 to 1800, exploring the distinctive qualities and styles that marked this era. Rather than simply a bridge between earlier neoclassicism and later romanticism, this period possessed its own unique identity, shaped by evolving views on art, taste, and the human experience. The author delves into the major poetic styles of the time, including the traditional neoclassical mode with its emphasis on wit, irony, and human experience, as exemplified by renowned poets like Samuel Johnson and Oliver Goldsmith. The book also explores the rise of the aesthetic school, with its focus on imagery, emotions, and the sublime, as seen in the works of Thomas Gray and William Collins. This exploration extends beyond style, examining how the poetry engaged with the social and intellectual currents of the time, including the rise of humanitarianism, the spirit of the Enlightenment, and a growing awareness of historical perspectives. The book sheds light on how poets responded to these influences, creating works that reflected both the continuity and the changing sensibilities of the era. By offering fresh insights into the historical context, thematic depth, and stylistic nuances of this period, this book provides a deeper understanding of the rich tapestry of English poetry in the mid-to-late 18th century.
