Sinossi
Excerpt from Notes on Poems and Reviews
Certain poems of mine, it appears, have been impugned by judges, with or without a name, as indecent or as blasphemous. To me, as I have intimated, their verdict is a matter of infinite indifference: it is of equally small moment to me whether in such eyes as theirs I appear moral or immoral, Christian or pagan. But, remembering that science must not scorn to investigate animalcules and infusoria, I am ready for once to play the anatomist.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compelling and detailed analysis of the works and controversies surrounding a notable, yet unnamed author. It delves into the specific accusations of blasphemy and obscenity levelled against two of the authorâs poems, âAnactoriaâ and âDoloresâ. The author provides an in-depth exploration of the historical and literary significance of these poems, drawing parallels to works by esteemed poets like Sappho and Shelley, and examining the broader cultural and religious context in which they were created. Through a thorough examination of the authorâs intentions, the book sheds light on the complex themes of desire, passion, and the nature of art itself. It argues that true artistic purity lies not in prudishness, but in the honest and unflinching portrayal of human experience. The authorâs insights illuminate the ongoing debate surrounding the limits of artistic expression, challenging conventional notions of morality and highlighting the importance of free speech and open dialogue in the pursuit of artistic excellence. Ultimately, this book serves as a valuable contribution to the discourse on the role and responsibility of artists in society.
