Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Concubine is a poem in two cantos written by William Julius Mickle in 1767. The poem is written in the style of Edmund Spenser, a famous English poet from the 16th century. The story revolves around a concubine, a woman who is not legally married to a man but is kept as a mistress. The concubine is in love with her master, but he is unable to marry her due to his social status. The poem explores the themes of love, passion, and the societal constraints that prevent people from being together. Mickle's use of Spenserian language and imagery creates a dreamlike atmosphere that adds to the romantic nature of the poem. The Concubine is a classic example of English poetry from the 18th century and is still studied and appreciated by scholars and poetry enthusiasts today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
