Summary "EDWARD FITZGERALD AND 'POSH'" by James Blyth is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the relationship between the esteemed poet Edward FitzGerald and Joseph Fletcher, affectionately known as "Posh," exploring their friendship and partnership in the context of fishing and herring trading. The text aims to present a more personal and humane side of FitzGerald, shedding light on the dynamics of his interactions with a simple fisherman who was also his confidant. The beginning of the book sets the stage for this exploration by introducing the correspondence between FitzGerald and Fletcher, highlighting the warmth and humor in their exchanges. It reveals Posh’s humble background and the contrasting lofty literary world of FitzGerald. At the start, the narrative is interwoven with anecdotes that illustrate their unique bond, emphasizing FitzGerald's genuine affection for Posh despite their social differences. The opening also hints at Posh's struggles, both personally and professionally, as the two navigate the complexities of their partnership in the fishing business, foreshadowing the challenges that will arise in their friendships as time progresses.
