The Borough - George Crabbe - Bog

The Borough is a collection of poems written by George Crabbe. The book is divided into twenty-four parts, each of which describes a different aspect of life in a small town. The poems are written in a realistic and detailed style, painting a vivid picture of the people, places, and events that make up the town. Crabbe explores themes such as poverty, crime, corruption, and social inequality, as well as the joys and struggles of everyday life. The poems are often critical of the town and its inhabitants, but they also show a deep understanding and empathy for the people who live there. The Borough is considered one of Crabbe's most important works and a masterpiece of English poetry.See! round the room, on every beam and balk, Are mingled scrolls of hieroglyphic chalk; Yet nothing heeded-- would one stroke suffice To blot out all, here honour is too nice, -- ""Let knavish landsmen think such dirty things, We're British tars, and British tars are kings.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
