Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oliver Cromwell, and Other Poems The first and longest poem in this volume aims to depict some of the chief events in the life, and some of the more salient features in the character, of Oliver Cromwell. For above a century after the Restoration of the Stuarts, nothing too bad could be said of him. A turn in this tide of obloquy may be detected in Gray´s celebrated Elegy, where, implying Cromwell´s possession of some great qualities, it is imagined possible that the village might have produced "Some Cromwell guiltless of his country´s blood": - in other words, some one as eminent as he was in the Cabinet and the Field, but without his violence and treason. Yet Gray could not have anticipated such a revolution of opinion concerning Cromwell as that which has occurred within the last fifty years, - due mainly to Carlyle´s historical researches and characteristic championship of the Protector. With the rout of the whole array of slander-mongers, there may, however be danger to something more important than even Cromwell´s reputation - namely, the application of the principles of morality to all men, without respect to persons.
