Omschrijving

The Horkey is a book written by Robert Bloomfield and first published in 1882. It is a narrative poem that tells the story of a harvest celebration in the English countryside. The poem follows the journey of a group of farmers as they prepare for the Horkey, a traditional feast held to mark the end of the harvest season.The book is divided into three parts, with each part describing a different stage of the Horkey celebration. In the first part, the farmers gather together to prepare for the feast. They clean their tools and dress in their best clothes, ready to celebrate their hard work and the bounty of the harvest.The second part of the book describes the feast itself. The farmers gather in a large barn, decorated with flowers and greenery, to eat, drink, and dance. The food is plentiful, and the ale flows freely, as the farmers celebrate their success and enjoy each other's company.The final part of the book describes the aftermath of the Horkey. The farmers return to their work, but with a renewed sense of camaraderie and community spirit. The book ends with a reflection on the importance of tradition and the value of hard work.Overall, The Horkey is a celebration of rural life and the traditions of the English countryside. It is a vivid and engaging portrait of a bygone era, and a reminder of the importance of community and celebration in our lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
