Sinopsis

In Leigh Hunt's 'Captain Sword and Captain Pen: A Poem,' the author explores the contrast between the two titular symbols of warfare and literature. Written in a romantic and lyrical style, Hunt delves into the age-old debate of the power of the sword versus the power of the pen, ultimately arguing for the transformative and enduring influence of literature. Set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, the poem reflects the political and social tensions of the early 19th century. Hunt's use of vivid imagery and poignant metaphors elevates the work to a powerful commentary on the role of art in times of conflict and turmoil. Leigh Hunt, a prominent figure in the Romantic literary movement, was known for his radical political views and his close friendships with fellow writers such as Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley. His experiences as a journalist and editor likely inspired him to write 'Captain Sword and Captain Pen,' as he grappled with the responsibilities of the writer in times of war and upheaval. I recommend 'Captain Sword and Captain Pen: A Poem' to readers interested in Romantic poetry, political commentary, and the intersection of art and activism. Hunt's masterful craftsmanship and thought-provoking themes make this work a valuable addition to any literary collection.

    LibriVox readers bring you 18 recordings of "The Bells." This was the Fortnightly Poetry selection for January 30 to February 13, 2011.  
     
    "The Bells" is a heavily onomatopoeic poem by Edgar Allan Poe which was not published until after his death in 1849. It is perhaps best known for the diacopic repetition of the word "bells." The poem has four parts to it; each part becomes darker and darker as the poem progresses from "the jingling and the tinkling" of the bells in part 1 to the "moaning and the groaning" of the bells in part 4.
