Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an exhaustive overview of poets throughout history, from classical Greek playwrights to medieval minstrels, renaissance playwrights and prominent Romantic poets. The author details the literary works of each historical era and each notable poet within those eras. The book's historical scope and detailed analysis of poetics and literary movements are particularly striking: the author clearly illuminates the development of poetry from the "rhapsodist" tradition, to its use in religious rituals, and finally as a form of personal expression and storytelling. The author's deep dive into the origins of poetry, combined with the historical and cultural context of each poet's work will appeal to students and scholars of literature, as well as casual readers with an interest in the rich history of poetry.
