By George Lansing Raymond

Book Overview

Poetry As A Representative Art: An Essay In Comparative Aesthetics (1899) is a literary work by George Lansing Raymond that explores the nature and purpose of poetry in the context of comparative aesthetics. The book is a scholarly examination of the role of poetry in representing the world and human experience, and how it compares to other forms of art in terms of its ability to convey meaning and emotion.Raymond argues that poetry is a unique form of art that is distinguished by its ability to represent reality in a way that is both vivid and symbolic. He examines how poetry uses language to create images and ideas that resonate with readers, and how it can be used to explore complex philosophical and ethical issues.Throughout the book, Raymond draws on examples from a wide range of literary traditions, including ancient Greek poetry, medieval European literature, and modern American poetry. He also compares poetry to other forms of art, such as painting and music, and discusses how each medium has its own strengths and limitations.Overall, Poetry As A Representative Art is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of poetry and its place in the world of art and literature. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the aesthetics of poetry, and for scholars and students of literature, philosophy, and the arts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
