Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 02, No. 10, August, 1858" by Various is a literary magazine from the mid-19th century. This volume features a variety of essays, articles, and poetry, highlighting significant cultural and political issues of the time while also delving into the arts and literature. The first portion presents a detailed analysis of the history of the Poet Laureateship in England, discussing notable figures like Geoffrey Chaucer, Ben Jonson, and John Dryden, and the complexities of their roles and contributions to English literature. At the start of this volume, the discussion shines on the office of the Poet Laureate, tracing its origins and the various individuals who have held the position over the centuries. It outlines a timeline that begins with Chaucer and extends through various literary periods, calling into question the legitimacy of earlier claims to the title before the establishment of the official Laureateship. The text critiques the arbitrary nature of the laureate position, sharing intriguing anecdotes about the laureates' lives and the societal contexts in which they operated, revealing both the honors and burdens associated with such literary recognition.
