Produced by Barbara Tozier and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Essays Æsthetical" by George Henry Calvert is a collection of contemplative essays written during the late 19th century. The work delves into aesthetic themes, exploring concepts such as beauty, poetry, style, and art's role within culture. Calvert’s treatise aims to scrutinize the essence of beauty, its recognition throughout history, and its profound connection to human emotions and creativity. The opening of the collection begins with a meditation on "the Beautiful," asserting that beauty is an immortal subject deeply intertwined with human experience. Calvert reflects on the nature of beauty, exploring its presence in the natural world and its historical significance across various cultures. He posits that beauty must be felt rather than intellectually grasped, emphasizing the ineffable connection between emotional sensitivity and the recognition of beauty. Throughout this initial essay, he makes clear that an appreciation of beauty enriches not only individual lives but also the collective cultural experience, setting the tone for the subsequent discussions on poetry and the arts.
