Bag om The Triumphs Of Temper

The Triumphs of Temper is a poem written in six cantos by the English poet, biographer, and patron of the arts, William Hayley. Originally published in 1788, the poem is a moralistic work that explores the virtues of self-control and moderation, and the dangers of excess and indulgence.The poem tells the story of Maria, a young woman who struggles with her temper and is prone to outbursts of anger and frustration. Through a series of allegorical trials and tribulations, Maria learns to control her emotions and cultivate a more balanced and measured approach to life.Along the way, Hayley explores a range of philosophical and moral themes, including the nature of happiness, the importance of friendship and community, and the role of reason and virtue in shaping human behavior. The poem is written in a lively and engaging style, with vivid descriptions, memorable characters, and a strong sense of moral purpose.The Triumphs of Temper was widely popular in its time, and helped to establish Hayley as one of the leading literary figures of the late 18th century. Today, it is considered an important work in the history of English literature, and a valuable example of the moralistic poetry that was popular during the Enlightenment era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
