Framed Poem and Court Tale From Petersburg to Naples
A long excerpt traces a poet's self justifications, critics advise, and a mock royal ascent in a tale of verses and satire. It blends a narrator’s confession of barren invention with a critic’s push to polish, then shifts to dispatches from Petersburg, Rome, and Naples noting court audiences, military moves, and church reforms.
