The Friend of Man and His Friends the Poets is a book written by Frances Power Cobbe. It is a collection of essays that explores the relationship between humans and animals. The book argues that animals are deserving of respect and compassion, and that humans have a responsibility to protect them from harm. The essays draw on Cobbe’s personal experiences with animals, as well as her knowledge of animal behavior and psychology. In addition to discussing the ethical treatment of animals, the book also explores the role of poetry in shaping our understanding of the natural world. Cobbe examines the work of poets such as Wordsworth, Shelley, and Keats, and shows how their writing can help us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the natural world. Overall, The Friend of Man and His Friends the Poets is a thought-provoking and insightful book that encourages readers to think deeply about our relationship with animals and the natural world.1890. Cobbe intends in these pages to examine the thoughts of Poets concerning Dogs in response to what he sees as a conspiracy to make our poor canine friends dreaded, dislike and despised. He begins with looking for the earliest literary and artistic traces of the relationship between dog and man. Contents: Poets the True Seers.
