| Summary | "The Poetical Works of Henry Kirk White" by Henry Kirk White, with a memoir by Sir Harris Nicolas, is a collection of poetry accompanied by biographical reflections, likely written in the early 19th century. The volume includes a variety of poems, including miscellaneous pieces, odes, sonnets, and ballads, and it reflects the literary journey of Henry Kirke White, a young poet who tragically passed away at an early age. The work not only showcases White's poetic talents but also delves into themes of ambition, solitude, nature, and his aspirations for a life in the Church. The opening of the memoir presents a rich background about Henry Kirke White's life, emphasizing his humble beginnings and the early signs of his literary genius. It describes his formative years, including his education, aspirations, and intense passion for study despite his family's financial struggles. It highlights his determination to pursue literature over a more traditional career path, detailing his correspondence with friends and the impact of his literary ambitions while also laying bare the internal conflicts and health struggles he faced. The memoir serves not only as a tribute to his short-lived life but also provides readers with insight into his character, his struggles for recognition, and his deep contemplations on faith and existence.
