Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an 18th-century volume of satirical and absurdist poetry targeting prominent figures in British arts and culture, particularly the Royal Academy of Arts and its members. The author, Peter Pindar, was a contemporary of the more famous Romantic poets and this book parodies their work and demeanor in response to the artistic philosophy championed by the Academy. The poems are written from the perspective of a fictional character engaging with members of the Academy in carnivalesque interactions. Pindar claims to be a descendant of the Greek poet Pindar and his work frequently references classical literature and Greek mythology. The poems range from light-hearted and humorous to biting and sarcastic, but they are consistently self-referential, inviting the reader into the author's critical perspective. This book appeals to readers interested in the interplay between art and criticism and provides an amusing and unique look at one artistic community through the lens of an outsider. 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 # 9781333298920_0
