Publisher's Synopsis
Elegies And Epitaphs, 1677-1717 is a book of poetry written by Urian Oakes. The collection contains elegies and epitaphs, which are poems that mourn the dead and honor their memory. The poems are written in a traditional style, with rhyming couplets and a focus on the themes of death and loss. Oakes was a Puritan minister and educator who lived in New England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. His poetry reflects his religious beliefs and his deep sense of loss at the deaths of his friends and family members. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and literary traditions of colonial America, as well as an insight into the personal experiences and emotions of one of its most talented poets.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
