Produktinformationen zu „Dumb Beasts in Hallowed Tombs “
This book of animal studies examines a hitherto neglected genre in Swedish poetry of the 17th and 18th centuries: the animal epitaph.
Klappentext zu „Dumb Beasts in Hallowed Tombs “
When Kersti Berg died in 1735, she was honoured with an obituary in the form of a poetic epitaph composed by Olof von Dalin. A modern-day reader can easily get the impression that Dalin's poem is an example of a funerary poem for a human being - one of the eighteenth century's most common poetic genres. Kersti Berg, however, was a dog, and Dalin's poem belongs to another genre, namely, the animal epitaph. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries this was a frequently practised form of poetry which could be used for a great many purposes, from imitations of ancient originals to masked poems composed to convey a political message or to further the writer's career.
