Overview
Harlequin-Horace: Or The Art Of Modern Poetry is a book written by James Miller and originally published in 1735. The book is a satirical work that parodies the style and form of the Roman poet Horace's Ars Poetica. Miller's work is a humorous take on the art of modern poetry and the various trends and styles that were popular during the 18th century. The book is structured as a conversation between Harlequin, a stock character from the Italian commedia dell'arte, and Horace, who is portrayed as a stuffy and out-of-touch literary figure. Throughout the book, Harlequin offers his own opinions and advice on the art of poetry, often contradicting or mocking Horace's more traditional views. The book is considered an important work of satire and a commentary on the changing literary landscape of the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
