Omschrijving

Probationary Odes for the Laureatship: With a Preliminary Discourse is a book written by John Hawkins and published in 1787. The book is a collection of poems that were submitted by various poets as part of their application for the position of Poet Laureate. The position of Poet Laureate was a prestigious one in the 18th century, and poets were required to submit a collection of poems for consideration. The book includes a preliminary discourse by Hawkins, in which he discusses the history and importance of the Poet Laureate position, as well as the criteria that were used to judge the poems submitted. The poems themselves are varied in style and subject matter, ranging from patriotic odes to love poems and satirical pieces. Overall, Probationary Odes for the Laureatship offers a unique insight into the world of 18th century poetry and the process of selecting a Poet Laureate. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of literature and the role of poetry in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
