Book Description
A Defense of Poetry argues that literature can be defined - pragmatist and historicist arguments notwithstanding - and that in its definition its unique value can be discovered. In qualified opposition to the most sophisticated Formalist definitions involving redundancy or economy of expression, the author identifies literature ontologically as a sign of the preconceptual, as the "ostensive moment" that discloses neither the purpose nor the structure of existence but existence itself, revealed in its nonhuman register.

Excerpt from A Defence of Poetry 4' A Defence of Poetry.his nerves thrilled to the touch of generous emotion. Led by such curi osity, how many volumes have been filled with the life of the Scottish plough-boy and the English peer; we welcome with delight every fact which proves that the patriotism and tender ness expressed in the songs of Burns, sprung from a noble and gentle heart and we pore over each letter that we expect will testify that the melancholy and the unbridled passion that darkens Byron's verse, flowed fiom a soul de voured by a keen susceptibility to intensest love, and indignant brood ings over the injuries done and suffered by man. Let the lovers of Shelley's poetry of his aspirations for a broth erhood of love, his tender bewailings springing from a too sensitive spirit his sympathy with woe, his adoration of beauty, as expressed in his poetry turn to these pages to gather proof of sincerity, and to become acquainted with the form that such sympathies and lofty aspirations wore in private life.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Defense of Poetry: Edited With Introduction and Notes Is Shelley's imagery splendid? If not splendid, it is at least generally beautiful, and bears an obvious resemblance to that of his poetry. Many of his illustrations are drawn from light, fire, the wind, music, birds, and flowers. It would be an agreeable and instructive task to make a collection of his metaphorical phrases, to trace his indebtedness to the Bible and other classics, and to spell out the character of his genius in the light of his similes, but we cannot afford our selves the indulgence in this place.
