Introduction to Poetry: Poetic Expression, Poetic Truth, The Progress of Poetry is a book written by Laurie Magnus and first published in 1902. The book explores the nature of poetry, its purpose, and its evolution throughout history. Magnus argues that poetry is a form of artistic expression that is both subjective and objective, and that it has the power to convey profound truths about the human experience.The book is divided into three parts: Poetic Expression, Poetic Truth, and The Progress of Poetry. In the first part, Magnus discusses the various forms and techniques of poetry, including rhyme, meter, and imagery. He also explores the role of the poet in society and the importance of poetic expression in human culture.In the second part, Magnus delves into the philosophical and metaphysical aspects of poetry, examining the ways in which poetry can reveal universal truths about the human condition. He discusses the relationship between poetry and religion, as well as the role of poetry in shaping our understanding of the world around us.In the final part, The Progress of Poetry, Magnus traces the evolution of poetry from its earliest origins to the modern era. He examines the major movements in poetry, from the classical period to the Romantic era, and explores the ways in which poetry has changed over time.Overall, Introduction to Poetry is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the nature of poetry and its place in human culture. Magnus's writing is both accessible and erudite, making this book an excellent resource for anyone interested in the study of poetry or the humanities in general.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
