About this book

In a time when the literary landscape was shifting dramatically, R. C. Trevelyan's "Thamyris: or, Is there a future for poetry?" emerges as a critical examination of poetry's place in modern society. This insightful essay delves into the tension between poetic expression and the prose-dominated culture, while contemplating the enduring power of artistic voice. Trevelyan articulates the struggle for authenticity in a world that often prioritizes the mundane over the lyrical, challenging readers to consider the significance of creativity in their lives. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians alike, "Thamyris" invites a reevaluation of the role of poetry, urging us to reflect on its potential to inspire and provoke thought in an ever-evolving world.
