Bag om The Cytezen And Uplondyshman

The Cytezen And Uplondyshman: An Eclogue is a poem written by Alexander Barclay in 1847. The poem is written in the form of an eclogue, a type of pastoral poem that features a dialogue between two characters. In this case, the characters are a city-dweller (cytezen) and a country-dweller (uplondyshman).The poem is a commentary on the differences between urban and rural life, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. The cytezen extols the virtues of city life, with its bustling streets, markets, and opportunities for trade and commerce. The uplondyshman, on the other hand, praises the peace and tranquility of the countryside, with its fields, forests, and streams.Throughout the poem, the two characters engage in a lively debate, each trying to convince the other of the superiority of their way of life. The poem is notable for its use of dialect, with the uplondyshman speaking in a rural West Country accent, and the cytezen using a more refined urban dialect.Overall, The Cytezen And Uplondyshman: An Eclogue is a charming and thought-provoking poem that offers a glimpse into the social and cultural differences between city and country life in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
