First published in 1937, in Scepticism and Poetry the author argues that a theory of poetry is primarily a theory of the imagination and the imagination which is present in the making of poetry is present also in all our knowledge of the world.
First published in 1937, in Scepticism and Poetry the author argues that a theory of poetry is primarily a theory of the imagination; that the imagination which is present in the making of poetry is present also in all our knowledge of the world; and that its operation in poetry cannot therefore be understood if considered apart from the activity of the imagination in knowledge.
The book discusses themes like the ‘prime agent’; denial of the ‘prime agent’ and the consequences; imaginative use of language; imagination, lyric and morality; and poetry, dogma and the mystical. This is an interesting book for the students of literature and poetry.
