Exploring the unique genre of graveyard poetry, this study connects it to the mid-eighteenth-century aesthetic shift in poetics. Parisot analyzes works by Robert Blair, Edward Young, and Thomas Gray, revealing how these poets navigate evolving religious beliefs and reading habits. The book illustrates their efforts to address themes of death and salvation while simultaneously reexamining poetic authority and the concepts of agency, mortality, and the afterlife.
