"Songs of Love and Empire" is a 1898 collection of poetry by E. Nesbit. Edith Nesbit (1858 â 1924) was an English poet and author. She is perhaps best remembered for her children's literature, publishing more than 60 such books under the name E. Nesbit. She was also a political activist and co-founded the Fabian Society, which had a significant influence on the Labour Party and British politics in general. This wonderful collection of her best poetry will appeal to fans of her work and would make for a fantastic addition to any bookshelf. The poems include: âTo The Queen of Englandâ, âAfter Sixty Yearsâ, âTrafalgar Dayâ, âA Song of Trafalgarâ, âWaterloo Dayâ, âA Song of Peace and Honourâ, âThe Ballad of the White Ladyâ, âThe Ghost Bereftâ, âThe Vain Spellâ, âThe Adventurerâ, âIn The Enchanted Towerâ, âFaithâ, âPreludeâ, âAt the Sound of the Drumâ, âThe Goose-Girlâ, and more. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
