Victorian Poetry
And Short Stories
George Burgess had a great love of poetry, and writings; not only did he collect poems and short stories from newspapers and stick them into his scrapbook but he also took a great delight in copying them 'in his own hand-writing'. Below is a sample of several Victorian Poems and other short stories he hand-wrote onto his own personalised paper, copying them from the newspaper publications he kept and stuck into his scrapbook.
Some of the articles and their authors have been identified, and where available a transcript of the newspaper article they came from can also be viewed.
