Publisher's Synopsis
Ballad Romances, And Other Poems is a collection of poems written by Anna Maria Porter and published in 1811. The book contains a variety of poems, including ballads, sonnets, and odes. The ballads are written in a narrative style and tell stories of love, loss, and adventure. They are often set in medieval times and feature knights, damsels in distress, and supernatural elements. The sonnets are more introspective and explore themes of nature, love, and mortality. The odes celebrate the beauty of nature and the power of the imagination. Porter's writing is characterized by its lyrical quality and vivid imagery. The book was well-received by critics and readers alike, and helped establish Porter as a prominent poet of her time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
