Anacreontic Poems, On Religious, Moral, And Pastoral Subjects (1847)

Anacreontic Poems, On Religious, Moral, And Pastoral Subjects is a collection of poems written by John Wright and published in 1847. The book is divided into three sections, each focusing on a different theme: religion, morality, and pastoral life. The poems are written in the style of Anacreon, a Greek poet known for his songs of love and wine. The religious poems explore themes of faith, redemption, and the afterlife. They offer a contemplative and introspective perspective on spirituality, and often draw on biblical imagery and language. The moral poems, on the other hand, deal with issues of ethics and human behavior. They offer advice and guidance on how to live a virtuous life, and explore the consequences of vice and sin. The final section of the book is dedicated to pastoral life, and features poems that celebrate the beauty of nature and rural living. These poems are often more lighthearted and playful in tone, and offer a glimpse into the joys and challenges of life in the countryside. Overall, Anacreontic Poems, On Religious, Moral, And Pastoral Subjects is a thought-provoking and engaging collection of poetry that explores a wide range of themes and emotions. It offers readers a glimpse into the mind of a talented poet, and provides a window into the cultural and intellectual milieu of the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
