Description
Essays on Poetry and Music, as They Affect the Mind: On Laughter and Ludicrous Composition, On the Usefulness of Classical Learning is a collection of essays written by James Beattie and published in 1779. The book is divided into three parts, each dealing with a different topic related to the relationship between art and the human mind.The first part of the book explores the impact of poetry and music on the mind. Beattie argues that these art forms have the power to move and inspire people, and that they can be used to promote moral and intellectual development. He also discusses the importance of understanding the cultural and historical context of these art forms in order to fully appreciate their impact.The second part of the book focuses on the role of humor and comedy in literature. Beattie argues that laughter and satire can be powerful tools for social critique, but that they must be used responsibly and with sensitivity to avoid causing harm.The final part of the book explores the value of classical learning and education. Beattie argues that a grounding in the classics is essential for a well-rounded education, and that it can help individuals develop critical thinking skills and a deeper understanding of the world around them.Overall, Essays on Poetry and Music, as They Affect the Mind is a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between art and the human mind, as well as the role of education in shaping our intellectual and moral development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
