The book is divided into several chapters that discuss the different aspects of poetry, including its history, its forms, and its function in society.Hudson begins by examining the origins of poetry and how it has evolved over time. He then delves into the various forms of poetry, such as lyric, epic, and dramatic, and analyzes their unique characteristics and purposes.The author also explores the role of poetry in society, examining how it can be used to express emotions, convey ideas, and inspire action. He argues that poetry has the power to evoke deep feelings and connect people to their inner selves and to others.Throughout the book, Hudson provides examples of famous poems and poets, including Shakespeare, Wordsworth, and Keats, to illustrate his points. He also includes his own poetic works to demonstrate the various forms and techniques he discusses.Overall, The Meaning and Value of Poetry is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of the importance of poetry in human life, and is a must-read for anyone interested in literature, language, and the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
