Island Bride

""The Island Bride: In Six Cantos"" is a narrative poem written by John Hobart Caunter and published in 1830. The poem tells the story of a young woman named Adela, who lives on a remote island in the South Pacific. Adela is courted by two suitors, the wealthy and powerful Don Juan and the humble but virtuous Juanito. Adela must choose between the two men, and her decision has far-reaching consequences for herself and her community. The poem is divided into six cantos, each of which explores different aspects of Adela's story, including her relationships with the two men, the political and social tensions of the island, and the natural beauty of the landscape. Throughout the poem, Caunter uses vivid imagery and lyrical language to portray Adela's struggles and triumphs, as well as the larger themes of love, power, and morality. ""The Island Bride"" is a classic example of romantic literature and an important work in the history of English poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
