Synopsis
Excerpt from The Poems of the Pleasures: Consisting of the Pleasures of Imagination, by Mark Akenside, M. D.; The Pleasures of Memory, by Samuel Rogers, Esq.; The Pleasures of Hope, by Thomas Campbell, A. M.; The Pleasures of Friendship, by James M'henry, M. D.; With a Memoir of Each Author
A class of ethical poems on the pleasures deriva ble from the mental faculties and emotions, appears to be peculiar to modern times and to British literature. Among the poems transmitted to us by' the ancients, that which makes the nearest approach to the charac ter of these productions, is the Art of Love, by Ovid. Had this poem been entitled the Pleasures of Love, it might have been supposed, not only as legitimately belonging to the class in question, but as being its earliest successful example.

The Poems of the Pleasures (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 an exploration of the philosophical concept of the 'Pleasures of Imagination'. These pleasures are experiences of delight derived from natural beauty, imagination and the senses. The author links this idea to the notion of 'grandeur' in nature, a similar concept to the 'sublime' as defined by Edmund Burke (1757). Furthermore, the author explores the beautiful through its connection to truth and good in human conduct and the moral faculty. In examining the different qualities of beauty in nature, art, and the mind, the author provides a philosophical framework for understanding and appreciating aesthetic experiences. The author's insights not only laid the groundwork for later thinkers on the subject of imagination, but also provide present-day readers with valuable insights into the role of beauty and imagination in human life. 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 # 9781333310400_0
