Abstract

Poetry and Wit
Edman, Irwin | January 30, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

This article literally appraises the book "The Great Enlightenment," by Lee Wilson Dodd. Poetry, itself largely an art of magic, is not supposed to flourish freely in an age of disillusion. In such an epoch wit has its bright metallic day. Its lines are so inevitable that one wonders nobody ever thought of them before. The remainder of the volume is of an excellent competence, but lacks just that touch and finish and energy that makes "The Great Enlightenment" distinguished.
