Description

A lyrical doorway to a vanished world, gently reawakened for today's readers. England And Yesterday gathers Louise Imogen Guiney's lucid, musical verse and invites you to breathe the past with fresh wonder. This concise poetry collection is a keystone for lovers of english verse, offering lyric poetry that glides between nostalgia and memory, glimpsing old england reverie through a Victorian lens. Its restrained religious imagery and delicate moral framing sit alongside a clear, modern sensibility-an accessible invitation to explore the late nineteenth century through Guiney's poised voice and the subtle influences of Christina Rossetti and Robert Browning. Beyond beauty, the book holds literary and historical significance: it stands as a refined example of a late Victorian english verse anthology, suitable for classroom teaching and for the quiet study of tone, cadence, and form. The collection rewards both casual readers and classic-literature collectors with its precise craftsmanship, memorable imagery, and emotionally resonant scenes that linger after the page is turned. 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. A thoughtful poetry lovers gift, this edition invites many into a refined, enduring tradition of lyric poetry and English heritage.
