{"product_id":"the-art-of-english-poetry-edward-bysshe-9781547278657","title":"The Art of English Poetry","description":"In its original form the work was an octavo of nearly four hundred pages divided into three parts: \"Rules For making English Verse,\" a rhyming dictionary, and a poetical commonplace book containing all the \"Most Natural, Agreeable, and Noble Thoughts\" of the English poets digested alphabetically by their subject. Only the first part is reproduced here, but it seems desirable to say something about the book as a whole.[1] It is one of those works which is scorned by all, and used by all who scorn it. In the sixty years after its publication it went through nine editions, and though Charles Gildon thought it \"a book too scandalously mean to name,\" he was constrained to admit that it had \"spread, by many editions, thro' all England\" and had \"carried off so many Impressions, as have made it with the ignorant, the Standard of Writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Bysshe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 154727865X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781547278657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/04\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.14d","brand":"Edward Bysshe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47200815251711,"sku":"9781547278657","price":9.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_00d43a27-ce5c-4318-985c-c9ae149d6c6b.jpg?v=1756787926","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-art-of-english-poetry-edward-bysshe-9781547278657","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
