Omschrijving
A quiet river of verse runs through The Deserted Village, a humane and sharply observant piece that speaks to every reader who has felt the ache of a changing countryside. In spare, memorable lines, Oliver Goldsmith's pastoral elegy in verse turns from laughter to lament, mapping a village's quiet departure as a mirror for a wider social and economic shift. This edition presents a concise, accessible journey through eighteenth century verse that remains a vital entry in a classic poetry collection. Its themes-rural depopulation critique, nostalgia for countryside, and the economics of village life-are rendered with wit, tenderness, and a keen eye for human consequence. For classroom study and academic reading alike, its compact form offers a powerful lens on Georgian era Britain, English village settings, and the enduring thread of English literary heritage. It is both a work of satire in pastoral mode and a moving tribute to a vanishing rural world, inviting casual readers and collectors to revisit a cornerstone of Britain's poetic voice. Selling points: Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; Restored for today's and future generations; More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This volume honours Goldsmith's achievement as a touchstone of English literature, combining scholarly clarity with the immediacy of a beloved, timeless verse.
