Book Overview

Corruption and Intolerance, Two Poems, with Notes: Addressed to an Englishman by an Irishman is a book written by Thomas Moore and published in 1808. The book consists of two poems that address the issues of corruption and intolerance in society, particularly in England and Ireland. The first poem, Corruption, criticizes the corrupt practices of the ruling class and the negative impact it has on the common people. The poem highlights the greed and selfishness of those in power and the suffering of the poor and oppressed. The second poem, Intolerance, explores the theme of religious intolerance and the persecution of Catholics in Ireland. The book also includes extensive notes by the author, providing historical and cultural context for the poems. Moore, an Irishman himself, uses his poetry to express the grievances of the Irish people and to call for reform and justice. Overall, Corruption and Intolerance is a powerful critique of the social and political issues of the time and a call for greater equality and fairness in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
