Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] What Nosce Te Ipsum have in common. Of Human Knowledge (1599) by John Davies (1569-1626), the Essay on Criticism (1711) and the Essay on Man (1732-1734) by Alexander Pope (1688-1744), The Prelude (1798-1850) by William Wordsworth (1770-1850), In Memoriam (1850) by Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892) and The Tower (1927) by William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)? Despite the foreseeable and inevitable differences in terms of cultural models, compositional procedures and textual characteristics, according to the opinion of authoritative Anglicists, the six works cited would share belonging to the literary genre of the "philosophical poem". [...] The essay explores the relationship between T. S. Eliot's "philosophical poetry" and the protagonist of one of those "moments at which the human mind has attained its greatest range and unity": Dante Alighieri.
