'In these days . . .' Summary
The poems in *In These Days...* explore a range of themes relevant to the social and political landscape of early 19th century England. Elliott's work condemns the inequalities of wealth, the hardships faced by the working class, and the injustices of the Corn Laws. He champions the cause of the poor and calls for a more equitable society. The poems are often filled with vivid descriptions of poverty, hunger, and despair, contrasting the suffering of the working class with the opulent lifestyles of the wealthy. Elliott's writing is characterized by its passionate voice and direct, sometimes harsh, language, making it a powerful testament to the social and political realities of his time. He uses his poetry as a platform to advocate for change and to expose the flaws of the existing social system, urging readers to acknowledge the plight of the poor and to demand a more just and equitable society.Book Details
