Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This multifaceted book collects 72 poems by Florence Marryat (1833-1899). A prominent 19th-century novelist and poet, Marryat's diverse literary contributions often illuminated or were shaped by the social and cultural dynamics of her time. This collection offers a compelling insight into her unique voice and multifaceted talent. From the rural beauty and youthful romance of 'An April Daisy' to the thoughtful musings on life's evolving rhythm in 'Changing Pictures', there is a sense of the author's rich inner world, and the depth of her connection with the natural world. There are also hints of societal changes, and the adjustments that were necessary in the Victorian era, as Marryat questions conventional norms. Ultimately, this book is a testament to Marryat's skill, and an invitation to explore the complexities of a significant literary figure and her compelling body of work. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This collection of 101 poems is a product of the Victorian era, a time of great enthusiasm for poetic expression. The author was a nature lover and a lover of the garden and his poems demonstrate this: in 'Spring' he urges the season to come quickly, bringing with it warmth and the sound of birdsong, and in 'Summer of Content' he describes the sensual delight of being with a loved one on a summer's day. The author was also an excellent observer of human behavior. In 'The Pilot's Girl' he describes the loneliness of a woman who, despite her beauty, has yet to find a man to marry, and in 'Aftermath' he writes about a man who has been jilted by his lover. This book is a valuable addition to our understanding of Victorian life and culture, and its insights into the human condition are still relevant today.
