Question

write a note on sentimental poetry​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sentimental poetry is a melodramatic poetic form. It is aimed primarily at stimulating the emotions rather than at communicating experience truthfully. Bereavement is a common theme of sentimental poetry.

Friedrich Schiller discussed sentimental poetry in his influential essay, On Naïve and Sentimental Poetry.

A sentimental poet is described as "He who plays off the amiable in verse, and writes to display his own fine feelings" in Poetical Moods and Tenses.
