Excerpt from Vashti a Poem in Seven Books, Vol. 1 of 7It will be observed, is an adoption of parts of the Bible story of the Book of Esther, with such changes in the language as to make it conform to the measure of the verse chosen while a part of the remainder is made up of speech put into the mouths of some of its person ages, who in the Bible story are silent, or have but little to say. By this means, and the introduction of a few minor characters, the author has endeavored to bring into more critical prominence the chief characters in the tremendous drama ascribing to them motives - and giving their reasoning thereon - which, it is assumed, impelled them to action, and especially has he sought to give a voice to, and get a hearing for, one of the chief unfortunates in the story - and at the same time one of the most interesting characters of Holy Writ, - that she may relate her trials and sufferings through one of the most singular and pathetic ordeals known to human.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
