The
Ballad of the White Horse is one of the last great epic poems in the English
language. On the one had it describes King Alfred’s battle against the
Danes in 878. On the other hand it is a timeless allegory about the ongoing
battle between Christianity and the forces of nihilistic heathenism. Filled
with colorful characters, thrilling battles and mystical visions, it is as lively
as it is profound.
Chesterton incorporates brilliant imagination, atmosphere, moral concern, chronological
continuity, wisdom and fancy. He makes his stanzas reverberate with sound, and
hurries his readers into the heart of the battle.
This deluxe volume is the definitive edition of the poem. It exactly reproduces
the 1928 edition with Robert Austin’s beautiful woodcuts, and includes
a thorough introduction and wonderful endnotes by Sister Bernadette Sheridan,
from her 60 years researching the poem. Illustrated.
“When Chesterton writes poetry, he excels like no other modern writer.
The rhyme, rhythm, alliteration and imagery are a complete joy to the ear. But
The Ballad of the White Horse is not just a poem. It is a prophecy.”
—Dale Ahlquist, President, The American Chesterton Society
“Not only a charming poem and a great tale, this is a keystone work of
Christian literature that will be read long after most of the books of our era
are forgotten.”
—Michael O’Brien, Author, Father Elijah
