Poems (eBook)

Samuel G. Goodrich's 'Poems' presents readers with an exquisite collection that intertwines reflective musing with the elegance of 19th-century literary prose. As a product of its time, the compilation reflects an era where romanticism began to give way to realism, yet still clings to the ornate and the evocative. Goodrich's work is characterized by its rhythmic versatility, a testament to his mastery over the traditional forms, whilst the content reverberates with themes of nature, morality, and the human condition. DigiCat Publishing brings this work back into the spotlight, bestowing upon it the respect and preservation that time-honored literature warrants, presented in a format that caters to contemporary readership both in print and digital mediums. Samuel G. Goodrich, renowned more prominently for his contributions under the pen name 'Peter Parley', has long been considered an influential figure in the canon of American children's literature. However, 'Poems' reflects a different facet of Goodrich's literary endeavor, one where his philosophical and aesthetic interests were given room to flourish. Perhaps what led Goodrich to immortalize his thoughts in verse was the same yearning for education and enlightenment that permeated his more didactic works. It is this impulse that beams within the texture of his poetry, an endeavor to delve into introspection and the complexities of the world and humanity. Goodrich's 'Poems' is an essential read for those with an affinity for classic literature. The volume resonates with the intellectual spirit of a bygone age, inviting readers to a sanctuary where the poetic language serves as a conduit for deeper understanding. Rendered with care and precision by DigiCat Publishing, this collection preserves the original's integrity while making it accessible to modern audiences. Both connoisseurs of historical literary works and those new to Goodrich's less-explored poetic talents will find this book a profound addition to their libraries, a classic reborn for the present-day bibliophile.
