Delphi Complete Works of Edward Young Illustrated Book PDF Summary
The eighteenth century English poet, dramatist and philosopher, Edward Young is best remembered today for the enormously popular ‘Night-Thoughts’, a long, didactic poem contemplating the theme of death. The poem was inspired by the successive deaths of Young’s stepdaughter, her husband and the poet’s own wife over a five year period. Composed in blank-verse, it is a dramatic monologue of nearly 10,000 lines, divided into nine parts, or “Nights.” Young’s fame in Europe was further developed by his prose masterpiece, ‘Conjectures on Original Composition’, addressed to his friend, the novelist Samuel Richardson. The essay succinctly explores concepts that would later epitomise the principal concerns of the Romantic movement. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. For the first time in digital publishing, this volume presents Young’s complete works, with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material.
