This ebook was transcribed by Les Bowler "Songs of the Army of the Night" by Francis Adams is a collection of poems written in the mid-19th century. This work reflects the struggles and injustices faced by the working class, focusing particularly on issues of labor, oppression, and social inequality. The poems are filled with passionate and often fierce sentiments, addressing topics such as capitalism, landlordism, and the plight of the disenfranchised, aiming to awaken the consciousness of the reader regarding social injustices. The opening of the text begins with an introduction by the author, where he outlines the driving themes of desperation and hope, particularly in relation to social issues in England. The first poem serves as a proem titled "Outside London," which immediately evokes imagery of the marching "Army of the Night," symbolizing the uniting of the oppressed. The tone is serious and urgent, establishing a call to arms for the working class against the wealthy elite and exploring the idea of collective identity and struggle. Adams presents a vivid picture of the bleak conditions faced by the marginalized, hinting at a yearning for change and a better future.
