Book Overview

The Zoology of the English Poets: Corrected by the Writings of Modern Naturalists is a book written by Robert Hasell Newell in 1845. The book is a comprehensive study of the animal references found in the works of English poets, and how they compare to the scientific knowledge of the time. Newell examines the poems of famous poets such as Shakespeare, Milton, and Wordsworth, and analyzes their descriptions of animals in light of the latest scientific research. The book includes detailed descriptions of various animals, their habitats, and their behaviors, as well as illustrations to aid in identification.
