The Borough is a collection of poems by George Crabbe published in 1810. Written in heroic couplets, the poems are arranged as a series of 24 letters, covering various aspects of borough life and detailing the stories of certain inhabitantsâ lives. Of the letters, the best known is that of Peter Grimes in Letter XXII, which formed the basis for Benjamin Brittenâs opera of the same name. Letter XXI describes Abel Keene, a village schoolmaster and then a merchant's clerk who was led astray, lost his place and finally hanged himself. he poem was begun in 1804, three years before the publication of The Parish Register, and demonstrates a clear development in Crabbeâs writing between the pastoral concerns shown in The Village, and the concentration on the life stories of individuals as seen in the Tales.

An exceptional, tall copy, very clean (excepting advertisements at end) and bright. Hayward 196. Five further editions followed in six years. Written in heroic couplets, the poems are arranged as a series of 24 letters, covering various social strata, trades, and places, and detailing the lives of rural characters. The best known letter (XXII) is that of Peter Grimes, which inspired Britten's opera. "To talk about Crabbe is to talk about England," E. M. Forster declared in a radio broadcast in May 1941. It was hearing Forster's talk while living in California that gave Britten the idea for his first opera and inspired his return to England and Aldeburgh, the unnamed borough of Crabbe's poems. "There are marvellous passages in 'Peter Grimes', in which the fisherman, cast out by society on suspicion of murdering his boy apprentices, hides out in the foetid estuary of the Alde, companioned only by the melancholy and 'tuneless cry' of the marsh birds. Paddling through these backwaters, Grimes sees the ghosts of his brutal father and two 'thin pale' boys rising from the brackish depths calling out to him to join them, . . . It is a nice irony that when Britten and Peter Pears founded the Aldeburgh festival in 1948 they did so amid the kind of sniping and stuffy local resistance that Crabbe would have recognised." (The Spectator, 25 June 2022) Crabbe's literary influence and legacy initially spread far and wide. Jane Austen's Mansfield Park was heavily inspired by Crabbe's works, as was to a lesser extent Persuasion. So the later drowning of Crabbe's voice would have surprised his admirers, including Byron, who called him "nature's sternest painter, yet the best." It would also have shocked Forster, who praised Crabbe for "his tartness, his acid humour, his honesty, his feeling for certain English types and certain kinds of English scenery." N. B.
