"The Works of Richard Hurd, Volume 1" by Richard Hurd is a collection of critical essays and commentaries written in the early 19th century. This volume focuses on the ancient poet Horace’s epistles, particularly the "Epistle to the Pisos," providing both an English commentary and critical dissertations on poetry. Hurd approaches his work with an intent to clarify the often convoluted interpretations of Horace's texts, offering a detailed exploration of poetic forms and metrics. At the start of the volume, Hurd reflects on his own educational journey, narrating details of his upbringing and academic progression, which sets the stage for his authority as a commentator. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the unity and method in poetics, critiquing previous interpretations that misconstrued Horace's intentions. Hurd lays the groundwork for his analysis by discussing poetic license, unity of subject, and the balance between innovation and tradition in poetic expression while providing insight into Horace's artistic methodology, thereby crafting a foundation for his subsequent explorations of Horace's writings.
