The War Against Poetry

Více o knize

The book explores the 16th and 17th-century cultural movement in England that led to an attack on poetry and theater, framing it as a "war against poetry." Professor Fraser argues that this phenomenon reflects a broader disengagement from medieval traditions, highlighting the tensions between emerging modern values and established artistic expressions. Through scholarly investigation, it delves into the implications of this cultural shift and its impact on literature and the arts.
