The Last Bard Of Limerick: An Original And National Poem In Spenserian Stanza (1865)

By James O'Leary

Book Overview

The Last Bard of Limerick is a book of poetry written by James O'Leary and published in 1865. The poems are written in Spenserian Stanza, a form of poetry named after the English poet Edmund Spenser. The book tells the story of the last bard of Limerick, a city in Ireland known for its rich cultural heritage. The bard is a symbol of the fading glory of Ireland's past and the struggle to preserve its traditions in the face of modernization and colonization. The poems are rich in imagery and language, evoking the beauty and melancholy of Ireland's landscape and history. The Last Bard of Limerick is both a celebration of Ireland's cultural heritage and a lament for its decline. It is a testament to the power of poetry to capture the essence of a people and a place, and to keep their stories alive for future generations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
