The Poets' Pleasaunce (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 examines the extensive homage paid to nature, particularly to flowers, by the top British poets who wrote prior to the 19th century. The author sought to treat flowers in the manner in which Christopher North suggested birds should be celebrated, by collecting all the praise and admiration that had been sung about them. The book includes the author's intention to carry out this suggestion for feathered favorites of nature in a subsequent volume. Critically, the work boasts a collection of nearly complete selections from those poets whose writings have been deemed worthy of a niche in the Temple of Fame. The chronological and systematic arrangement of the extracts is believed to be unique, as most of its predecessors neglected old poets to make room for contemporaries whose writings were readily available. With the exception of a few purely dramatic works, anonymous poems, and translations, the extracts used in this book are only from those poets whose writings have been given a universal nod of approval. The book is a valuable resource not only for the insights and admiration it offers on the subject of flowers but also for its rich historical content. 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 # 9781331779360_0
