Book Description
The last of the Augustan poets, following Dryden and Pope in the use of the heroic couplet, George Crabbe was an important literary figure of the early nineteenth century. Lord Byron famously described him as “nature’s sternest painter, yet the best.” Esteemed by the Romantics as a rebel against the genteel fancy of his day, Crabbe pleaded for the poet’s right to describe the commonplace realities and miseries of human life. He is best known for his early use of the realistic narrative form and his detailed descriptions of middle and working-class life, which is unsentimental in its portrayal. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. This volume presents Crabbe’s complete poetical works, with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material.
