Synopsis
Excerpt from Poems, Essays, and Sketches: Comprising the Principal Pieces From Her Complete Works
Besides being thoroughly conversant with the folk-lore of her country, she was, as her works prove, well up in politics, biography, theology (of course), and a sympathetic student of nature.
From reading so much at night (commonly till two in the morning) she became blind at 60; but, like her own native laverock, sang on even more sweetly than ever, always blithe and bonnie, ever ready with the word in season, either to cheer the sorrowful, or to admonish the drunkard.

Poems, Essays, and Sketches (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book collects the assorted writings of the Scottish poet and essayist, Janet Hamilton. It includes her famous temperance poems, social and moral essays, sketches of village life in the past, and sacred pieces. Born to a poor shoemaker in a small Scottish town in 1795, Hamilton was self-taught and never attended school, a fact that makes her literary achievements even more remarkable. Despite her humble origins, she gained a deep love of literature and shared her passion with others by starting a local lending library. This book offers readers a fascinating glimpse into the life and mind of a remarkable woman, whose insightful essays and compassionate verse on issues such as poverty and alcoholism in 19th century Scotland still resonate today. Through her nuanced social commentary and eloquent use of language, this collection highlights the historical context of the issues and provides valuable insights into the concerns of working-class communities during this period.
