By Ernest J. Laurence

Book Overview

A Few Essays in Poetry, written by Ernest J. Laurence and published in 1880, is a collection of essays that explore various aspects of poetry. The essays cover a range of topics, from the technical aspects of writing poetry to the emotional and philosophical elements that make poetry so powerful.In the first essay, Laurence discusses the importance of form in poetry, arguing that the structure of a poem is just as important as the words themselves. He explores various forms of poetry, from sonnets to free verse, and discusses the ways in which each form can be used to convey different emotions and ideas.In the second essay, Laurence delves deeper into the emotional power of poetry, exploring the ways in which poems can evoke strong feelings in readers. He argues that poetry has a unique ability to capture the essence of human experience and to express complex emotions in a way that is both universal and deeply personal.The final essay in the collection takes a more philosophical approach, exploring the role of poetry in society and the ways in which it can be used to inspire change and promote social justice. Laurence argues that poetry has the power to challenge the status quo and to inspire people to take action, and he provides examples of poets who have used their work to effect real change in the world.Overall, A Few Essays in Poetry is a thought-provoking and insightful collection that will appeal to anyone with an interest in poetry and its place in the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
