Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book of poetry presents a unique view into the life and experiences of a turnpike gate toll collector. The author, a toll collector for many years, uses his experiences as a microcosm to depict the variety of characters and events that made up daily life in 19th-century England. In the author's hands, the turnpike gate becomes a stage for the human comedy, where nobility, commoners, the respectable, and outcasts interact and reveal their joys, sorrows, aspirations, and foibles. Moving from humorous to poignant, from the everyday to the extraordinary, this book of verse captures a diverse and changing world through the eyes of one man. Ultimately, these poems use the everyday experiences of a toll collector to reveal the universal aspects of the human condition and provide a glimpse into the life of a little-known worker whose job was essential to the functioning of 19th-century society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331474043_0
