Synopsis
Poetry, Modern Romance And Rhetoric by George Moir. This treatise surveys poetry across civilizations, tracing definitions and aims of poetry, its moral influence, and the cultivation of genius and imagination. Moir discusses imagination, fancy, judgment, and study, and argues poetry's purpose is immediate intellectual pleasure; he elaborates on the roles of imagination, study of nature, diction, simplicity, sensuousness, and passion. The work then surveys Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Italian, French, Spanish, German, and English poetic traditions. It analyzes epic and lyric forms, and its treatment covers the influence of Christianity, the rise of chivalry and feudalism, and the transition to modern poetry. The latter portions address the history of Modern Europe’s poetic development and the emergence of the novel, with extensive discussions of Defoe, Richardson, Fielding, Sterne, Johnson, Cowper, Burns, and Scott, among others. The volume provides a comprehensive, critical framework for understanding poetry and the evolution of the modern romance and novel.
