Synopsis
The Two Brothers: And Other Poems by Edward Henry Bickersteth. This 1871 collection assembles devotional and epic verse exploring Christian faith, moral struggle, and biblical history. The title poem 'The Two Brothers' narrates a tale of sin, repentance, and reconciliation between two siblings, framed by a mother’s faith and a fallen but hopeful world. The book extends into large narrative works such as Nineveh and Ezekiel, alongside shorter reflections on sacred themes, hymns, translations, and occasional poems. The Preface and Introductory Notice situate Bickersteth as a major figure in English sacred literature, building on the tradition of Milton and Dante, and linking personal piety with universal providence. The collection includes translations from Körner and moralizing odes, and a selection of religious hymns, with an emphasis on divine mercy, salvation through Christ, and trust in God through trials. It reflects Victorian religio-poetic concerns: faith, mortality, eternity, and the hope of eternal life.
