Returning from one such mission of foraging and gunboat diplomacy, Smith found disgruntled settlers trying...
...middle of the river?”As Jem and Maggie partake in their meandering adventures, Chevalier presents them as spectators to a veritable litany of social injustices. We see Maisie and other young women who seem not to have received the old adage that a reformed rake does not make the best husband, desperate women turned “gaunt and pockmarked” whores, heartrending cries from Bedlam.These injustices are of course akin to those described in Blake’s “Songs of Experience” poem “London,” which...
