Hillard's discourse on the relation of the poet to his age offers a thoughtful and nuanced reflection on the role of the poet in society. Drawing on examples from classical and contemporary poetry, Hillard argues that the poet has a unique power to reflect the spirit of his age and to shape the world around him. The discourse is a valuable contribution to the intellectual and cultural history of the mid-19th century.
