Gummere is a collection of poetry explored through the lenses of tragedy and humor, written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses on the themes of loss, emotion, and the complexity of the human experience, presenting works that delve into tragic narratives and humorous commentary. Through its diverse selection, this compilation showcases the rich tapestry of poetic expression across cultures and eras. The opening of the volume begins with an introduction by Francis A. Gummere, who reflects on the fluctuating status of poetry throughout history. He discusses the perception of poetry as queen of the arts, juxtaposed with fears of its decline, and emphasizes the need for a fresh approach to understanding its place in society. Gummere argues that poetry must be studied as a vital element of human experience, connecting it to the larger social context rather than viewing it solely through the prism of individual genius. This perspective sets the stage for the poems that follow in the collection, which are organized by themes of tragedy and humor, further enriching the reader's exploration of these profound facets of life.
