By John Francis Davis

Book Overview

""Poetry and Criticism"" is a collection of essays and poetry written by Outis and originally published in 1850. The book is divided into two sections, the first containing critiques of contemporary poets and their works, and the second featuring original poetry written by Outis. In the first section, Outis provides insightful and often scathing critiques of prominent poets of the time, including Alfred Tennyson, Robert Browning, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Outis offers a unique perspective on their works, pointing out flaws and strengths in their writing styles and themes.The second section of the book showcases Outis's own poetry, which ranges from romantic and pastoral to more political and social commentary. Outis's poetry is characterized by its vivid imagery and emotional depth, exploring themes of love, loss, and the human condition.Overall, ""Poetry and Criticism"" offers a fascinating glimpse into the literary landscape of the mid-19th century, and showcases the talents of a writer who was both a skilled critic and a talented poet in their own right.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
