Produktbeschreibung

Helenore: Or The Fortunate Shepherdess is a poem written by Alexander Ross in the Broad Scotch dialect in 1866. The story follows the life of a young shepherdess named Helenore, who is described as a beautiful and virtuous woman. Despite her humble beginnings, Helenore catches the eye of a wealthy lord who falls in love with her and offers to marry her. However, Helenore is torn between her love for the lord and her loyalty to her former lover, a fellow shepherd who has been faithful to her for many years. The poem explores themes of love, loyalty, and class differences, and is written in a lyrical and poetic style that captures the beauty and simplicity of rural life in Scotland. Ross's use of the Broad Scotch dialect adds to the authenticity of the story and immerses the reader in the culture and language of the time. Overall, Helenore: Or The Fortunate Shepherdess is a charming and romantic tale that celebrates the virtues of love and loyalty, and offers a glimpse into the rich literary tradition of Scotland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
