Austerity Of Poetry (Unabridged) Matthew Arnold
In "Austerity of Poetry," Matthew Arnold, a renowned Victorian poet and critic, delves into the essence of true poetry. He argues that poetry should not merely entertain or provide escapism but should grapple with the complexities of life and human experience. Arnold emphasizes the importance of "high seriousness" and "disinterestedness" in poetry, advocating for works that transcend personal emotions and offer insights into the human condition. Through insightful analysis and eloquent prose, Arnold challenges readers to reconsider the nature and purpose of poetry, inviting them to embrace its transformative power.
