Feminine Influence On The Poets is a book written by Edward Thomas and published in 1911. The book explores the impact of women on the poetry of various male poets throughout history. Thomas argues that women have played a significant role in inspiring and shaping the work of poets, and he examines the ways in which female figures, both real and imagined, have influenced the poetic imagination.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different poet and his relationship with women. Thomas discusses the works of poets such as Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth, and Tennyson, among others, and shows how their poetry was shaped by the women in their lives. He also explores the ways in which female characters and archetypes have been used by male poets to express their own desires, fears, and aspirations.Throughout the book, Thomas emphasizes the importance of women in the creation and interpretation of poetry. He argues that women have been undervalued and overlooked in literary history, and that their contributions to poetry have often been ignored or dismissed. By highlighting the role of women in the poetic tradition, Thomas seeks to give them the recognition they deserve and to deepen our understanding of the ways in which poetry reflects and shapes our perceptions of gender and sexuality.Overall, Feminine Influence On The Poets is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of the relationship between women and poetry. It offers a fresh perspective on the history of literature and challenges readers to reconsider the ways in which gender has influenced the creation and interpretation of poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
