A Fable For Critics is a satirical poem written by James Russell Lowell in 1848. The poem is a humorous and critical look at some of the most prominent literary figures of the time, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Edgar Allan Poe. The poem takes the form of a fable, with a narrator telling a story about a group of animals who represent different literary figures. Each animal is given a distinct personality and characteristics that reflect the author they represent. The poem is filled with witty observations and clever wordplay, and offers a unique perspective on the literary scene of the mid-19th century. Overall, A Fable For Critics is a playful and entertaining work of satire that offers a glimpse into the world of American literature during a pivotal moment in its history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
