A proposito di questo titolo

The discussed text is a critique of old English poetry, emphasizing how much of its appreciation arises from the antique nature rather than intrinsic poetic quality. It points out the misinterpretation of metaphysical poetry, highlighting that some poets prioritized moral teaching through artifice, unlike others who infused poetic sentiment through natural channels. The critique assesses an anthology of English poetry, noting how some selections fail to capture the true beauty of the era's poetic style. It contrasts the seemingly elaborate compliments with genuine poetic sentiment present in works like 'The Shepherd's Hunting' and 'Maiden Lamenting for Her Fawn'. The latter is praised for its enchanting depiction of a fawn and the maiden's affection, demonstrating the poet's ability to convey deep emotion and intricate imagery. The text underscores the blend of simplicity, expression, and the antiquarian charm that both elevates and constrains the perception of elder British poetry.
