Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Sage: An Original Poem is a work of poetry by Isaac Cowen, originally published in 1817. The poem is a meditation on the nature of wisdom and the pursuit of knowledge, exploring the idea of the ""sage"" as a figure who embodies both intellectual and moral excellence. Cowen draws on a range of literary and philosophical traditions, weaving together references to classical mythology, biblical stories, and the works of Enlightenment thinkers such as Voltaire and Rousseau. The poem is characterized by its complex, allusive style, which combines formal poetic structures with a rich and varied vocabulary. At the same time, Cowen's work is deeply engaged with contemporary political and social issues, addressing questions of power, authority, and justice. Overall, The Sage is a challenging and thought-provoking work of poetry that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
