520 _a"The Works of Richard Hurd, Volume 2" by Richard Hurd is a collection of critical essays written in the early 19th century. This volume contains an examination of poetry and drama, specifically analyzing the nature of universal poetry, its characteristics, and its various forms, including tragedy and comedy. Hurd's work aims to articulate the principles of poetic art and the roles of different genres within literature. The opening of this volume begins with a dissertation on the idea of universal poetry. Richard Hurd articulates that poetry is fundamentally an art form aimed at pleasure, distinguishing it from other literary forms where utility often takes precedence. He discusses how poetry should utilize figurative language and composition that engages the mind's desires. Additionally, Hurd sets the groundwork for understanding the significance of style and fiction in poetry, emphasizing the importance of pleasing the audience through both sound and imagery, which he considers essential to the poetic experience. His reflections indicate a thoughtful approach to the philosophical underpinnings of poetry, preparing the reader for deeper analyses in subsequent sections.
