Poets with tag Sage writers:

Sage writing was a genre of creative nonfiction popular in the Victorian era.

Sage writing is a development from ancient wisdom literature in which the writer chastises and instructs the reader about contemporary social issues, often utilizing discourses of philosophy, history, politics, and economics in non-technical ways.

Sage writing is a development of wisdom literature drawing much of its energy from the style of Old Testament prophets such as Jeremiah and Isaiah; notably, sage writer Matthew Arnold was once referred to as an "Elegant Jeremiah". Landow also lists sermon writing, satire, and British and German Romantic poetry as formative influences.
