leasummer's review against another edition
3.0
I’m still new to poetry and have mostly only read poets from the 21st century. A 24 page poem about a sofa, or on the theme of a sofa, was not what I was expecting. The religious tie-in to everything speaks to the time frame. I didn’t really enjoy reading it but I could imagine those at the time finding it of value.
I read this for the 2023 read harder challenge - a favorite book by your favorite author, and this was on a list of known books Jane Austen read.

The poems I really enjoyed and appreciated were the abolitionist and religious ones. The others were sort of bland and bled together for me.
