Synopsis
The authoe proposed to himself, in writing tliis work, a subject that has ever been held one of the most difficult and refined, and which is virgin in the imaginative literature of every country namely, the development and formation of the poetic character. It has, indeed, been sometimes incidentally treated, and partially illustrated by writers of the highest class, as for instance Gothe in his Wilhelm Meister, where are expounded, with so much felicity, the mysteries of predisposition; and the same illustrious author has, in his capricious memoirs, favoured us with much of his individual experience of self-formation ;in this resembling preceding poets, none more conspicuously than Count A lfieri. But an ideal and complete picture of the development of the poet had not been produced, nor had any one entirely grappled with the thorough formation of that mysterious character with which, though unlike all of us, we all of us so strangely sympathise.
