The American poet and essayist Louise Imogen Guiney was a prominent figure of the Boston literary circle of her day. She is chiefly known for her lyrical, Old English-style poems, recalling the conventions of seventeenth-century poetry. Informed by her religious faith, Guiney's works exhibit a concern for the Catholic tradition, while emphasising moral rectitude and heroic gallantry. By the end of the nineteenth century, Guiney was regarded as a major contributor to American literature. In later years, she turned to scholarship, concentrating on neglected poets. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. This volume presents Guiney’s complete works, with numerous illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material.

BROWNIES AND BOGELS is more about brownies, bogels, elves, pixies, fairies and the little people than it is about the stories and tales which the little people tell to each other. It is an excellent volume which gives parents and grandparents background information for those moments when a child asks “Where did the fairies go?” or, “What is a Bogle?” This volume covers aspects of brownie and fairy life, like What Fairies Were And What They Did. Who the Fairy Rulers were and how they went about ruling. It will also tell who the Black Elves and Light Elves were and how the little people were also House-Helpers but how some of them were also Mischief-Makers. So, if you ever find things out of place in your house, now you know who to blame. You will also read about Fairyland and the Water-Folk, Changelings and the eventual Passing Of The Little People plus much, much more. ============ KEYWORDS/TAGS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, childrens stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy kingdom, ethereal, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, happy place, happiness, laughter, Brownies, bogels, , little, fairies, children, elves, people, beautiful, night, sweet, green, love, Fairyland, Robin, changeling, Welsh, mortals, England, Puck, Ireland, gentle, play, Kobold, German, Scots, human, goblins, gentlemen, Dwarves, Isle, Cornwall, Mab, Scotland, creature, dance, Pisky, pixie, poets, Troll, Shakespeare, Goodfellow, Cluricaune, Denmark, Indian, Queen, Black, King, Nixy, fairy-folk, Brittainy, Korrigans, Piskies, Tylwyth, sprites, Boggart, naughty, Kelpie, Breton, magic, trick, charm, Rügen, barn, Fir-Darrig, whimsical, moonlight, enchant, Shetland, Gobelin, Thomas, bottom, Molly, Alan, water-sprites, fairy-mother, dark-skinned, Skillywidden, frolicsome, Devonshire, Friesland, Hobgoblin, Spriggans, air-elves, vanish, mountains, Strömkarl, egg-shell, mythology, Lyktgubhe, Wildbeam, Goldemar, Edenhall, Coblynau, mermaids, Ellydan, Drayton, Hobhole, bagpipe, Celtic, Ainsel, Robert, golden, Cauld, Lutin, Tomte, Gitto, Pooka, Gwyn, Lyly, knob, Puk, Mop, Hob, Will-o'-the-Wisp, Northumberland, Heinzelmänchen, tintinnabulis, Wag-at-the-Wa, philosopher, honeysuckle, red-capped, Longfellow, pestilence, Ghibelline, Karkapaha, Kirkegrim, coloribus, Badfellow, malignant, petticoat, Rulers, Black Elves, Light Elves, House-Helper, Water-Folk, Mischief-Makers, Puck, Poets, Passing

Certainly Miles Standish was not of the demigods, if he was of the heroes. No Puritan ascetic he, by nature or belief. One might imagine him some soul that failed to find incarnation among the captains and pirates of the great Elizabeth’s time, the Raleighs and Drakes and Frobishers, and who, coming along a hundred years too late, did his best to repair the mistake. A choleric fellow, who had quarrelled with his kin, and held himself wronged by them of his patrimony; of a quarrelsome race, indeed, that had long divided itself into the Catholic Standishes of Standish and the Protestant Standishes of Duxbury; a soldier who served the Queen in a foreign garrison, and of habits and tastes the more emphasized because he was a little man; supposed never to have been of the same communion as those with whom he cast in his lot,—it is not easy to see the reason of his attraction to the Pilgrims in Holland. Perhaps he chose his wife, Rose, from among them, and so united himself to them; if not that, then possibly she herself may have been inclined to their faith, and have drawn him with her; or it may have been that his doughty spirit could not brook to see oppression, and must needs espouse and champion the side crushed by authority. For the rest, at the age of thirty-five the love of adventure was still an active passion with him. That he was of quick, but not deep affections is plain from the swiftness with which he would fain have consoled himself after the death of Rose, his wife; and, that effort failing, by his sending to England for his wife’s sister Barbara, as it is supposed, and marrying her out of hand. That he was behind the spirit of the movement with which he was connected may be judged by his bringing home and setting up the gory head of his conquered foe; for although he was not alone in that retrograde act, since he only did what he had been ordered to do by the elders, yet the holy John Robinson, the inspirer and conscience of them all, cried out at that, “Oh that he had converted some before he killed any!” Nevertheless, that and other bloody deeds seem to have been thoroughly informed with his own satisfaction in them. His armor, his sword, his inconceivable courage, his rough piety, that “swore a prayer or two,”—all give a flavor of even earlier times to the story of his day, and bring into the life when certain dainties were forbidden, as smacking of Papistry, a goodly flavor of wassail-bowls, and a certain powerful reminiscence of the troops in Flanders. That such a nature as the fiery Captain’s could not exist without the soothing touch of love, could not brook loneliness, and could not endure grief, but must needs arm himself with forgetfulness and a new love when sorrow came to him in the loss of the old, is of course to be expected. If he were a little precipitate in asking for Priscilla’s affection before Rose had been in her unnamed grave three months, something of the blame is due to the condition of the colony, which made sentimental considerations of less value than practical ones,—an evident fact, when Mr. Winslow almost immediately on the death of his wife married the mother of Peregrine White, not two months a widow, hardly more a mother.
