George Crabbe. Selected Poetry

SofCover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Previous owners name to inside cover. Crabbe wanted his readers to feel his writing - accounts of rural and prvinical life, of individuals and communities, of landscapes - to be true, not only as narrative but in circumstantial detail - some of it harsh and shocking. peter Grimes is his most famous character, one whom Benjamin Britten found irresistible. His characters are individual, and yet socialy representative. 'It is worth registering from the outset', Jem Poster says, 'the enduring intimacy of Crabbe's contact with the world, the sheer physicality of his grasp of things: the strengths of his poetry are more easily understood if we can visualize him actually grubbing at the slimy roots of the marsh-plants he so vividly described, delivering a neighbour's child, or assisting his father by piling buter-caks in a quayside warehouse'. 168 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Paperback. Artikel-Nr. 082469
