Description

""Life In Poetry, Law In Taste"" is a book that comprises two series of lectures delivered by William John Courthope in Oxford between 1895 and 1900. The book was published in 1901 and is a collection of essays that discuss the relationship between poetry and life, and the principles of taste in literature. The first series of lectures is focused on the idea that poetry is an expression of life and that it reflects the social, political, and cultural conditions of the time. The second series of lectures is centered on the principles of taste in literature and how they have evolved over time. Courthope argues that taste is not a fixed concept but is influenced by the cultural and historical context in which it is developed. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in the study of poetry and literature, as it provides a unique perspective on the relationship between art and life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
