Sobre IBD

''Judith and Holofernes: A Poem'' is a work of poetry written by Thomas Bailey Aldrich and published in 1896. The poem is based on the biblical story of Judith, a Jewish widow who saves her people by killing the Assyrian general Holofernes. The poem is written in blank verse and explores the themes of bravery, faith, and the power of women. Aldrich’s interpretation of the story is both dramatic and lyrical, with vivid descriptions of the characters and their actions. The poem is considered a classic example of American poetry from the late 19th century and is still studied and appreciated by scholars and readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
