Sorrows - Sacred to the Memory of Penelope

"Sorrows – Sacred to the Memory of Penelope" is a deeply personal and poignant collection of poetry by Sir Brooke Boothby, written in mourning for his beloved daughter, Penelope, who tragically passed away at the age of five. In this heart-wrenching elegy, Boothby pours his grief into verse, capturing the depth of a parent's sorrow with haunting beauty. The book, a powerful meditation on loss, love, and memory, became a striking example of early Romantic sentimentality. Featuring a famous frontispiece depicting Penelope's tomb, Sorrows remains a timeless reflection on the fragility of life and the enduring pain of bereavement.
"Sorrows - Sacred to the Memory of Penelope" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1796.
