At the Back of the Moon; Or, Observations of Lunar Phases

This antiquarian volume contains a wonderful collection of poems centred around a fictional race of people living on the moon, first published in 1879. These poems are driven by the narrative voice of a visitor to the lunar surface who observes its inhabitants and comments on the various aspects of their way of life - which happen to be uncannily similar to those of humanity on Earth. Interesting and thought-provoking, this text will appeal to all manner of poetry-lovers, but will be of special value to those with an interest in unique and interesting antiquarian works of poetry. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that this book is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition for the enjoyment of discerning poetry enthusiasts.
