Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"New Collected Rhymes" by Andrew Lang is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. This anthology encompasses a variety of lyrical themes, including reflections on nature, loyalty to lost causes, and whimsical takes on life, love, and literature. The poems often draw upon historical and cultural references, notably to the Scottish Jacobite movement and iconic figures such as Joan of Arc. The content of this collection is rich and diverse, weaving heartfelt ballads, critical verses, and lighthearted cricket-themed rhymes. Lang explores themes of loyalty and nostalgia, particularly surrounding the Jacobite cause, as seen in pieces like “The Bonnie Banks o’ Loch Lomond” and “Culloden.” He cleverly combines personal sentiment with broader commentary on society and art, as evident in poems like "A Remonstrance with the Fair" and "Gainsborough Ghosts." Each poem reflects Lang's playful tone and mastery of rhythm, offering readers both entertainment and thought-provoking insights into human experiences and history.
