The Literature of Ecstasy
1857
The Literature of Ecstasy, written by Albert Mordell and first published in 1857, is a treatise that redefines poetry beyond traditional forms and metrics. Mordell argues that true poetry is rooted in emotional experience and can be found in both verse and prose, emphasizing the importance of personal expression and emotional intensity. The work critiques conventional views of poetry, advocating for a broader interpretation that recognizes the poetic elements present in prose literature that evoke deep emotional responses.
