| Summary | "Poetical Ingenuities and Eccentricities" by William T. Dobson is a collection of humorous and inventive poetry written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a sequel to Dobson's earlier compilation, "Literary Frivolities," and focuses on various forms of poetic creativity, from parodies to more experimental verses, showcasing the lighter side of literary composition. It gathers contributions from multiple authors and explores different styles of verse, enhancing the reader's perspective on the craft of poetry. The opening of "Poetical Ingenuities and Eccentricities" presents Dobson's preface, where he reflects on the success of his previous work and sets the stage for this new collection. He highlights the inclusion of original pieces alongside adaptations from notable literary figures, and he acknowledges the collaborative effort of various contributors. The preface invites readers to anticipate a variety of poetic forms, including parodies and linguistic play, and encourages a sense of amusement and appreciation for the nuances of language within poetry.
