Embankment at Night, before the War: Outcasts
'Embankment at Night, before the War: Outcasts' Summary
D.H. Lawrence's 'Embankment at Night, before the War: Outcasts' is a poignant and unflinching poem that captures the stark realities of urban poverty in pre-World War I England. It delves into the lives of marginalized individuals living along an embankment, their struggles, their resilience, and their hopes amidst a backdrop of industrial society. Lawrence's use of vivid imagery and evocative language portrays a world of darkness, hardship, and quiet desperation, yet simultaneously reveals glimpses of human connection and enduring spirit.Book Details
