Title
Bundle of poems by Nellie Kirkham, handwritten
Date
c1910s
Description
The bundle is dated to the 1910s because two items in it are dated, to 1914 and 1915 ("A Lyric of The Spring"). The poetry is romantic in style, and follows traditional forms such as the Shakespearean sonnet ("We Have No Knowledge"). At least one poem takes inspiration from First World War-era patriotism ("England's Call To Her Sons")
