Marguerite; or, The Isle of Demons and Other Poems
Thanks to Tim Lindell, Paul Marshall and all the DP proofreading team.
"Marguerite; or, The Isle of Demons and Other Poems" by George Martin is a collection of poetry written in the late 19th century. The poems reflect a deep engagement with Canadian themes, history, and landscape, focusing particularly on the romantic narrative of Marguerite and her trials. The introduction hints at a richly woven tale involving elements of love, betrayal, and the supernatural, suggesting that the poems possess both personal and historical significance. The opening portion of the book sets the stage for the poem "Marguerite," where the title character recounts her heart-wrenching story in a convent. She describes a journey across the sea under the command of her tyrannical uncle, Roberval, and her love for Eugene Lamar, which brings both joy and impending doom. As Marguerite narrates the events, she expresses her vulnerabilities and fears amidst the supernatural lore surrounding the Isle of Demons. The tone shifts from a peaceful romantic adventure to an ominous atmosphere as the characters face betrayal and danger, capturing the reader's attention and invoking a sense of tragedy that permeates the piece.
