An Essay on War, in Blank Verse; Honington Green, a Ballad; the Culprit, an Elegy; and Other Poems, on Various Subjects

By Nathaniel Bloomfield and Capel Lofft

Book Overview

A quiet echo of a turbulent century, revived for new shelves and new readers. A tapestry of moral reflection, war's consequence, and longing, rendered in elegant verse. This collection gathers Nathaniel Bloomfield's work in a masterful blend of blank verse poetry and ballad form verse, moving from stark elegy to hopeful记adores of resilience. Across war and mourning, the poems traverse nineteenth century Britain with the sensibilities of Victorian era poetry and the sensibilities of British romantic poets-the human scale of loss, the urgency of conscience, and the grace of lyric lines that endure. It is at once a poetry collection for casual readers and a beacon for classical poetry readers who savour refined metre, luminous imagery, and quiet magnificence. Alpha Editions is honoured to restore this out-of-print treasure for today's and future generations. Rather than a mere reprint, this volume is a cultural treasure, a carefully curated artefact that honours its era while speaking with modern clarity. The poems invite contemplation of moral questions, the beauty of language, and the enduring power of verse to illuminate our shared history. A gem for poetry collectors and curious readers alike, this book stands as a testament to a rich literary lineage and its relevance now.
