Project Gutenberg 2004-02-01 Public domain in the USA. 100 Crabbe, George 1754 1832 Inebriety and The Candidate Mark Sherwood "Inebriety and The Candidate" by George Crabbe is a collection of poetic works created in the late 18th century. The book comprises two main parts: "Inebriety," which explores the theme of intoxication and its effects on human behavior, and "The Candidate," a poetic epistle that addresses the authors of the Monthly Review, discussing the struggles of a poet in seeking recognition and critique. The work delves into issues of moral philosophy, social class, and artistic aspirations, reflecting Crabbe's keen observations of society during his time. In "Inebriety," Crabbe vividly describes the various forms and consequences of drunkenness, highlighting both the chaotic and social aspects of inebriation through a range of characters from different walks of life. The poem paints a picture of the allure of alcohol and its impacts on the mind and community. "The Candidate" serves as an introspective piece, where Crabbe candidly expresses his fears and hopes regarding his poetry and potential reception by critics. Through these works, he grapples with the nature of ambition, criticism, and the quest for artistic identity in an unforgiving literary landscape, ultimately reflecting a desire for genuine human connection and understanding.
