«The Parish Register» is George Crabbe's narrative poem, published by Blurb in paperback (86 pages, in English).
Written in verse, the poem recounts the life of an English rural parish through the entries of the parish register: baptisms, marriages and burials. From the vicar's perspective, Crabbe composes portraits of his parishioners and offers a moralizing and critical view of the society of the time.
The poem was originally published in 1807.
Recommended for readers of classic English poetry and for those interested in rural life and the social history of the eighteenth century.
