St. Bernardine: A Dramatic Poem is a work of literature written by Catherine Swanwick and published in 1862. The book is a dramatic poem that tells the story of St. Bernardine, a 15th-century Franciscan friar who was known for his powerful preaching and his dedication to the poor. The poem is written in blank verse and is divided into five acts. The first act introduces the character of St. Bernardine and his mission to spread the word of God. The second act focuses on his efforts to reform the church and his conflicts with corrupt clergy. The third act depicts his miracles and his growing popularity among the people. The fourth act shows his struggle against the plague and his efforts to comfort the sick and dying. The final act portrays his death and his legacy as a saint. Throughout the poem, Swanwick explores themes of faith, social justice, and the power of preaching. The book is a compelling portrait of a historical figure and a meditation on the role of religion in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
