Schweitzer Klassifikation
Coventry Patmore (1823-1896) was a notable British poet and critic renowned for his contributions to literature and art theory during the Victorian era. Born in London, Patmore initially gained recognition as a poet with works such as The Angel in the House, which reflected his views on domesticity and the idealization of womanhood. His poetry is characterized by its lyrical quality and exploration of themes related to love, morality, and social values. Beyond his poetic endeavors, Patmore was deeply engaged in art theory and aesthetics. His critical work, Principle in Art Etc, provides a significant examination of artistic principles, focusing on the relationship between beauty, form, and morality. Patmore's writings reflect his belief in the moral and philosophical dimensions of art, advocating for a vision of art that aligns with ethical values and cultural standards. Patmore's influence extended into literary criticism, where he was known for his insightful analysis of art and its role in society. His contributions to Victorian art criticism and his reflections on artistic and moral principles remain relevant in discussions of art and literature. Patmore's legacy is marked by his integration of aesthetic theory with moral and cultural commentary.
