Synopsis

Poems Ed. By R.J. Burnside is a poetry collection by Helen Burnside, originally published in 1864 by Hatchard & Co. in London. The volume gathers poems written by Helen Burnside at various times, including historical pieces, miscellaneous pieces, sacred pieces and hymns, and songs. An Introduction by R. J. Burnside explains that the poems were authored by Helen Burnside over the years and notes that she became deaf after a severe attack of scarlet fever in 1852, an event that also claimed several family members. The collection touches on themes of memory, loss, faith, motherhood, and beauty, and blends secular verse with devotional pieces that reflect Victorian sensibilities. It offers a window into a mid?19th?century poet’s response to personal hardship, public events, and religious reflection, combining commemorative pieces with intimate lyric pieces that span cradle to grave and beyond.
