Poems

"Poems" by George Crabbe is a collection that shines a light on the difficult lives of those in the countryside during the early 1800s. The poems use strong descriptions and thoughtful looks at society to show what it was really like for poor people living in rural areas. The author promises at the beginning to honestly show life in the village, including the hard work, tough times, and moments of happiness, aiming to honestly depict common experiences and observations of people and their lives. The poems set a serious tone from the start to describe labor, poverty, and living in these conditions. Crabbe's work is a contrast to the over-romantic stories about country life, revealing a more genuine picture of the challenges faced by ordinary people.
