Synopsis
Excerpt from Edward Young's Conjectures on Original Composition
There are other things in the pamphlet which are interesting in their relation to the critical thought of the time - the reference to rime in tragedy, for example, and the condemnation of the 'childish shackles and tinkling sounds' in Pope's Homer. And there is the unexpected praise of the 'divinely-inspired enthusiast' which seems to waft us far from the age of common sense and rationalism and belief in rules. But these are digressions from the main subject of original composition.
