Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the rise and life of a famed poet of the poor, the self-taught George Crabbe. It touches on his general life story, from his harsh childhood in a wild fishing town, his failed apprenticeships, to his efforts to make a life for himself as a doctor and a literary artist in London. Throughout the book, the reader is treated to a symphony of Crabbe's motivations and fears; his love for Sarah Elmy and their eventual marriage, his terrors of failure and destitution, his fight for acceptance in the face of poverty and ignorance. What emerges through the author's thoughtful prose is an unflinching portrait of the struggles faced by the poor and talented in 18th and 19th century England, as well as a celebration of the human spirit and the power of art.
