The healing power of poetry

A now rather fragile copy of John Keble's lectures on poetry (the original Latin text) in two volumes was given to the Library by Henry George Woods, President of Trinity 1887-1897. His wife, Margaret Louisa Woods, was a novelist and poet, well-known in literary circles in her day but now largely forgotten. The lectures are entitled "De poeticae vi medica" -- "On the healing power of poetry" -- and dedicated to William Wordsworth.
