Author Young, Edward, 1683-1765
Title The Poetical Works of Edward Young, Volume 2
Note Reading ease score: 74.6 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
Summary "The Poetical Works of Edward Young, Volume 2" by Edward Young is a collection of poetry written in the mid-19th century. This volume features a variety of poetic forms and themes, including explorations of death, religion, and the nature of fame, as seen in works like "The Last Day" and "The Force of Religion." Young employs a reflective and often dramatic style that delves into the human condition, morality, and the existential struggles of faith and ambition. The opening of this volume begins with "The Last Day," wherein the poet invites contemplation of humanity's ultimate fate as a time of reckoning approaches. With grave imagery and a passionate tone, Young contrasts themes of earthly glory with the inevitable decline of all worldly things. The poem sets a profound stage for introspection, as it discusses the existential fear of judgment and the transient nature of life, urging readers to reflect on the deeper significance of their existence. This laying of philosophical groundwork and emotional depth seeks to engage the reader in a meditative exploration of mortality and divine justice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
