Book Description
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of George Crabbe In this edition of Crabbe's works, we have reproduced the text of the authors own edition, adding only the posthumous volume of Tales, practically left ready for publication by the poet, and the few poems gathered together under the titles 'Juvenilia' and Occasional Poems, which are reprinted from his sons edition of 1834. It is true that some of these were condemned by Crabbe himself as unworthy to live, but they are already known to many readers, and could hardly be left out. The only notes are those made by Crabbe himself. The arrangement of the poems is chronological. For the biographical matter we are indebted to the Life by his son, prefixed to the edition of 1834, and to Mr. Ainger's Life of Crabbe in the English Men of Letters edition.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of George Crabbe (Selected): With Prefactory Notice, Biographical and Critical The life of Crabbe has many points of interest, and of these his courtship especially merits atten tion. While at Woodbridge he won the affections of Miss Sarah Elmy, and during the long and trying years which intervened before he was placed in circumstances which enabled him to consummate his courtship in matrimony, he never relinquished the hope of one day claiming his bride. Reduced to his last sixpence, with his clothes and watch sold or in pawn, and, still worse, owing money for his lodgings, he nevertheless protested that he had not lost courage.

Book Description
Excerpt from George Crabbe's Poetical Works: Preface to the Tales George crabbe was born at Aldborough, a small coast town in Suffolk, on the'24th of December, 1754. His family was obscure, but in competent circumstances the result of industry and application, and of an apt-11638 for business, which appears to have characterized the race in general. The grandfather of the Poet, who, as far as any genealogical record has determined, was the founder of the race, was at one time engaged in'the service of the Government in the department of the Customs. The majority of the Poet's brothers em barked in a seafaring career - in every case with success, but, nevertheless, with somewhat untoward issue. The Poet himself, who was the eldest of his generation, had, oddly enough for the son of a man who could barely read, or who had only been partly self-educated, a preference for learning rather than for physical em ployments, especially such as coast-cruising. At a very early age George Crabbe was accordingly despatched to school, at a place called Bungay, in order that this lite rary predisposition, which the father had not failed to observe, might have a fair opportunity of being developed; where, however, it was very nearly smothered by the exemplary method of punishment reserved by the illus trions pedagogue of the Bungay Establishment for Young Gentlemen, From this academy young Crabbe was removed to one of greater pretensions, when about twelve years old; and under his second tutor, he certainly appears to have acquired considerable attainment.
