| Summary | "The Legendary and Poetical Remains of John Roby" by John Roby is a collection of poetry, tales, and a biographical account written in the mid-19th century. This work serves not only to illuminate Roby's literary legacy through his creative pieces but also to provide insight into his life, character, and the influences that shaped his writing. The compilation reflects his deep connections to Lancashire, where the stories are rooted, and showcases the themes of personal experience and local culture that permeated his work. The opening of the volume introduces readers to John Roby through a preface written by his widow, who aims to honor his memory and literary contributions. The narrative delves into John's formative years, illustrating his isolation as a young child and his early encounters with art and literature, which kindled a lifelong passion for storytelling. Roby's character is sketched through poignant reflections on his childhood, his thirst for knowledge, and his relationships with family and friends, which would later inform his writings. The biographical sketch sets the stage for exploring the varied poetic and narrative elements contained within the rest of the collection, hinting at a life filled with creativity marked by both personal struggles and triumphs in the literary world.
