{ "item_title" : "Poems", "item_author" : [" Charles Kingsley "], "item_description" : "Poems is a comprehensive collection of verse by the influential Victorian writer, social reformer, and clergyman Charles Kingsley. Known for his deep moral conviction and his appreciation for the natural world, Kingsley's poetic output spans a wide range of forms, from stirring narrative ballads to introspective lyrical pieces. This collection showcases his ability to blend rhythmic vitality with profound social and spiritual themes, often reflecting the turbulent industrial landscape of 19th-century England and his passionate advocacy for the working class.The volume includes a diverse array of works, such as the dramatic poem The Saint's Tragedy, which explores faith and asceticism, alongside shorter, enduring pieces like The Sands of Dee and The Three Fishers. Kingsley's mastery of the ballad form is particularly evident here, capturing the folklore and seafaring heritage of the British Isles with emotional resonance. His verse is characterized by a distinctively muscular Christian ethos, seeking to harmonize physical vigor with spiritual devotion. This collection remains an essential resource for readers of Victorian literature, highlighting a writer who utilized the power of poetry to address the most pressing moral and social issues of his era.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
