Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Festus is a dramatic narrative poem written by Philip James Bailey, first published in 1839. Instead of adhering to a traditional linear plot structure, the work presents a series of loosely connected episodes, dialogues, and encounters that collectively form the spiritual and philosophical journey of its central character, Festus. Festus embarks on a metaphysical journey through various realms and encounters a wide array of allegorical and mythological figures, representing different facets of human experience, morality, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. Through his interactions with these characters, Festus engages in discussions on topics such as love, death, faith, and the nature of reality. Lucifer is a constant presence on the protagonist’s journey. His interactions with Festus serve as a means of exploring the conflict between good and evil, as well as the challenges and choices that individuals face in their pursuit of enlightenment; he represents the adversarial force that seeks to divert Festus from his path, tempting him with worldly pleasures, doubts, and distractions. Festus was extremely popular in its day, and greatly admired by contemporary poets like Tennyson and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. It went through various editions over the years as Bailey continued appending verbatim extracts from his later, less popular poems, until the final edition of 1889 ran over 40,000 lines. This Standard Ebooks edition is based on the 1845 first American edition, which is the last edition to contain material wholly original to Festus. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Festus: A Poem The author, in preparing, on the fiftieth anniversary of its publication, a final revision of this poem, has been advised by friends whose opinions he much esteems, to foresay to a rising generation of students, a few words indicative briefly of certain leading features which have, more or less from the beginning, (as illustrating the ultimate triumph of good over evil), distinguished the work, from others conversant with a like class of topics; and to make some alterations in the current issue which, it is believed, will recommend themselves to the judgment of the oh servant reader. The poem has been taken to be a sketch of world-life, and is a summary of its combined moral and physical conditions, estimated on a theory of spiritual things, opposed as far as possible to that of the partialist, pessi mist and despairing sceptic, the belief of the misbeliever, so prevalent in our time not only in regard to the creation, government and administra tion of the world by divine providence, but in its views as to the origin of the so-called mystery of moral evil; and in its general positions known as universalist, illustrative of the highest aspirations and the happiest future, here and hereafter of humanity. Here, however, it may be as well to premise that, substantially, the poem stands now, and indeed in most of its chief respects remains, unchanged; and it does so for the reason more especially, that very soon after its first appearance, the author perceived the original outline to be sufficiently extensive and elastic to admit almost every variety of classifiable thought, and reasonable enlargement of pur pose upon such matters as human faith, morals and progress could not fail to present to the ripening experiences of life. In the course, however, of years, it becomes almost inevitable, in the case of a living writer, that some things shall have been added, some things, for sundry reasons, varied, and some things taken away.
