Synopsis
Excerpt from Architecture Among the Poets
A Good many years ago the author contributed to The Builder, anonymously, a short series of articles under the title "Architecture among the Poets." That this essay attracted some interest was evident from the fact that, as Editor of that journal, he has from time to time received enquiries as to the date of the articles, from correspondents wishing to obtain the back numbers containing them. The essay is here presented in a permanent form, re-written, revised, and with considerable additions, as well as with some illustrative sketches not before published.

Architecture Among the Poets (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical analysis of the architectural references in English poetry, focusing on how poets' descriptions and allusions to architecture reflect the changing attitudes toward the art form over time. The author traces the evolution of these references from early, fantastical descriptions of architecture as constructed from precious materials, to more realistic and appreciative depictions of actual buildings. The book also explores how poets such as Chaucer, Spenser, Milton, Shakespeare, and Pope used architectural imagery to enhance their work, and how their descriptions of architecture provide insights into the broader cultural and social contexts of their time. Through examining these references, the author uncovers the significant role that architecture has played in shaping the English poetic tradition, and in turn, how poetry has influenced the perception and appreciation of architecture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330257234_0
