The Zoology of the English Poets: Corrected by the Writings of Modern Naturalists is a book written by Robert Hasell Newell and published in 1845. The book is a comprehensive study of the zoological references made by English poets, such as William Shakespeare, John Milton, and Alexander Pope, among others. Newell examines the accuracy of the poets' descriptions of animals and compares them to the findings of modern naturalists. He corrects any errors or misconceptions made by the poets and provides detailed descriptions of the animals in question. The book is divided into chapters based on different animal groups, including birds, fish, insects, and mammals. Newell also includes a chapter on mythical creatures, such as unicorns and dragons, and how they have been portrayed in literature. Overall, The Zoology of the English Poets is a fascinating look at the intersection of literature and science, and how the two disciplines have influenced each other throughout history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in zoology, literature, or the history of scientific thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
