The White Doe Of Rylstone: With The Song At The Feast Of Brougham Castle (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781428628298)

The White Doe of Rylstone is a narrative poem written by the famous English poet William Wordsworth. The poem tells the story of the Battle of Marston Moor, which took place during the English Civil War in the 17th century. The central character of the poem is a white doe, which is seen as a symbol of purity and innocence. The doe is owned by a family called the Nortons, who live in Rylstone, a village in Yorkshire. The poem explores the themes of love, loyalty, and sacrifice, as the Nortons are torn between their loyalty to the king and their love for each other. The poem is also notable for its use of the ballad form, which was a popular form of poetry in the Middle Ages. Along with the poem, the book also includes Wordsworth's Song at the Feast of Brougham Castle, which is a celebration of the beauty of nature and the joys of life. Overall, The White Doe of Rylstone is a beautiful and poignant work of poetry that is sure to touch the hearts of readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
