Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an apology for writing poetry and an analysis of the literary landscape of the time. The author, frustrated by the literary output of their contemporaries, presents their own thoughts on the state of the arts. They excoriate the quality of writing, the morality of their fellow authors, and the publicâs taste for insubstantial works. The author argues that morality and greatness have been abandoned in favor of pandering to the masses. Their critique of the current state of affairs shows a deep understanding of the history of literature, and especially of satire. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
