Produktbeschreibung
Captain Sword and Captain Pen is a lengthy narrative poem written by the English poet, essayist, and critic, Leigh Hunt, in 1835. The poem is an allegory that explores the conflict between war and literature, embodied respectively by the eponymous characters of Captain Sword and Captain Pen. Throughout the poem, Captain Sword represents the violence and destruction of war, while Captain Pen embodies the creativity and intellectualism of literature. The two characters engage in a series of debates and battles, with each trying to prove the superiority of their respective domains. The poem also explores the role of the artist in society, with Hunt arguing that literature has the power to shape and influence the world in a more positive way than war ever could. Hunt's belief in the transformative power of literature is evident in the poem's final lines, which declare that ""The pen is mightier than the sword."" Overall, Captain Sword and Captain Pen is a thought-provoking and engaging work that uses allegory and metaphor to explore complex themes related to war, literature, and the role of the artist in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
