Yet Shelley's Defence of Poetry was a direct and detailed reply to his friend's attack, and if we allow the Defence to rank with the great pronouncements on poetry of such critics as Sir Philip Sidney, Dryden, Matthew Arnold and Wordsworth, this neglect of its immediate source is remark-able. Thomas Love Peacock, born in 1785, was close on seven years older than Shelley, whom he first met towards the end of 1812. Before Shelley's final departure from England in 1818 they had become intimate enough to read classical authors together and to join in a river ex-pedition up the Thames. Peacock had also accepted an allowance from Shelley for some years, and had criticized his poems. A friendship which survives four such tests may fairly be called lasting, and it was not long disturbed even by Peacock's open disapproval of the desertion of Harriet Shelley. A cordial correspondence was kept up later between England and Italy, and upon Peacock fell the task of announcing his friend's death to Sir Timothy Shelley, and of negotiating with him for the maintenance of the widow and heir. The dry and scholarly humour of his novels, and the perfection of his light or pathetic verse, have won Peacock such a niche in the history of our literature that it would be an impertinence to expatiate here upon his merits as an author. The Four Ages of Poetry has been declared by a good critic to be 'not a favourable specimen of Pea-cock's writing,' a compliment to his other work which is indeed high. The essay has at any rate one great merit, it stimulates thought, and as a piece of literary paradox for the magazine press it leaves very little to be desired. Early in 1819 Peacock had obtained an appointment at the India House, with duties which were well paid and not particularly onerous, and for some years he found plenty of time for literary work. A new periodical was being floated by Charles and James Ollier, the publishers who had printed Shelley's Laon and Cythna; and The Four Ages of Poetry appeared in the first number of Ollier's Literary Miscellany in 1820. It may be granted at once that most of the importance of the article lies in the answer which it drew from Shelley. Peacock is being deliberately provocative and satirical throughout his essay. He divides the achievement of poetry into four ages, an original iron age of the celebration of tribal heroes, followed by a Homeric golden age of perfec-tion, and a silver age of verse, either imitative or unheroic; the age of Virgil, Menander, Aristophanes, Horace, and Juvenal. Finally we reach the second childhood of poetry in the age of brass, which attempts to recapture the age of gold by returning to primitive barbarism and rejecting the polish and learning of the silver age. His classical example of this phase is the Dionysiaca of Nonnus. So far there is little to quarrel with in the main theme,* nor will many object to the choice of Shakespeare for an example of our own golden age, and of Dryden and Pope for our age of silver. But the sting is in the tail; the whole essay has but prepared the way for an attack on contemporary English poetry as representing an age of brass. 'While the historian and the philosopher are advancing in, and ac-celerating, the progress of knowledge, the poet is wallowing in t.…
