Samenvatting

The arts are often justified by those creating and experiencing them as having some kind of value beyond their mere being. Originally published in 1937, this book examines the place of poetry in human life. Hamilton argues that, rather than justifying poetry as a worthy mental exercise, the experience of poetry as a contemplative and conscious experience is sufficient reward and justification for its existence as an art form. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in poetry or the maxim 'ars gratia artis'.
