English poet George Crabbe started his education to be a surgeon but his future wife encouraged him to write poetry.
Three poems The Library (1781), The Village (1782), and The Newspaper (1785) were successful and well received. The poverty, harsh realities and true social life of the village folk was shown in The Village. The rest of his future work, The Parish Register (1807), The Borough (1810), and Tales in Verse (1812) were all in a similar nature of showing that rural life is not so idyllic as imagined by urban people. It also has hardships of failed crops, bad weather and dead wildlife.
The Borough is a collection of poems by George Crabbe published in 1810. Based on the village of Aldeburgh, the poem shows the reality of life in a village.
