Synopsis
Anselmo: A Poem by George R. Parburt. This sprawling Romantic epic in verse fuses lyric devotion with historical romance and political intrigue. The narrative centers on Anselmo, a young scholar who journeys from the Potomac region to distant seas in search of beauty, knowledge, and a transcendent love. He falls for Isabel, a luminous figure whose memory haunts his life and guides his conscience. Across cantos, the poem interweaves meditations on art, time, faith, and the allure of idealized love with vivid episodes: the youth’s scholarly growth; Isabel’s devotion; and the looming shadows of worldly ambition, including a scheming bishop, Don Carlos’s wars, and Central American politics. The action shifts from intimate themes of the heart to panoramic scenes of Darien and Panama, where romance collides with war, treachery, and moral testing. The work culminates in a fusion of love and duty, ending with the lovers united in marriage after trials of passion, guilt, and sacrifice.
