Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Beaumont and Fletcher - Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Beaumont and Fletcher

By Samuel Taylor Coleridge

  • Release Date: 1834-07-25
  • Genre: Fiction & Literature

Lectures on the notes and works of famous personalities of the literary world. Poetry is not the proper antithesis to prose, but to science. Poetry is opposed to science, and prose to metre. The proper and immediate object of science is the acquirement, or communication, of truth; the proper and immediate object of poetry is the communication of immediate pleasure. This definition is useful; but as it would include novels and other works of fiction, which yet we do not call poems, there must be some additional character by which poetry is not only divided from opposites, but likewise distinguished from disparate, though similar, modes of composition.
