"An Essay on the Lyric Poetry of the Ancients" by John Ogilvie is a detailed study from the 1700s that explores the nature and development of old lyric poetry. Ogilvie's work investigates how reason blends with imagination when writing poems, suggesting that both are needed to create good poetry, and he also specifies the differences between kinds of poems. Arguing that lyric poems came about as a early art form to be admired more than just imitating real life, Ogilvie focuses on how lyrical poetry, rich with emotion, can touch people deeply.
