Synopsis
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of George Crabbe (Selected): With Prefactory Notice, Biographical and Critical The Christmas-eve of 1754 is all but forgotten in the swift flow of time; yet we stand subtly linked to that dim old winter's day by the power of one poet's life; for on that Christmas-eve George Crabbe, the future poet, was born, and therefore we mark it in the register of our memory as a very special Christmas-eve, and one that brought to us a messenger of tidings of worth - a man who saw the poverty of life, its toil and sorrow, and drew strong, vivid pictures of society, and bequeathed them, a true art-legacy, to succeeding generations. His was true art, the art of his own time and age, and it is not, perhaps, too much to say that he who would know what the life of the century was, must perfect his knowledge over the pages of the poet.

Product Description
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of George Crabbe (Selected): With Prefactory Notice, Biographical and Critical
The life of Crabbe has many points of interest, and of these his courtship especially merits atten tion. While at Woodbridge he won the affections of Miss Sarah Elmy, and during the long and trying years which intervened before he was placed in circumstances which enabled him to consummate his courtship in matrimony, he never relinquished the hope of one day claiming his bride. Reduced to his last sixpence, with his clothes and watch sold or in pawn, and, still worse, owing money for his lodgings, he nevertheless protested that he had not lost courage.
