Saint Herbert’s Isle is a poem written by John Bree in 1832. The poem is divided into five cantos and includes some smaller pieces. The story is set on Saint Herbert’s Isle, a legendary island located in the middle of Derwentwater, a lake in the Lake District of England. The poem tells the story of Saint Herbert, a hermit who lived on the island in the 7th century. The story follows his life and his relationship with his friend, Saint Cuthbert. The poem also includes other characters such as the Lady of the Lake, who appears to Saint Herbert in a vision, and the evil spirit, Blencathra, who tries to tempt Saint Herbert away from his holy life. The poem is written in a lyrical style and includes themes of friendship, faith, and temptation. Overall, Saint Herbert’s Isle is a classic piece of English literature that explores the legend of a holy man and the challenges he faced in his quest for spiritual enlightenment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
