An Essay Of Dramatic Poesy (1918)

""An Essay of Dramatic Poesy"" is a critical work by Thomas Arnold, first published in 1918. The essay is a discussion of the nature of drama and its place in literature. Arnold examines the works of several great playwrights, including Shakespeare, and argues that drama should be judged on its own terms, rather than by the standards of other literary genres. He also discusses the various elements that make up a successful drama, such as plot, character, and language. Throughout the essay, Arnold offers his own opinions on the nature of drama and its role in society, making this a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theory of drama.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
