The New Rome: Poems and Ballads of Our Empire is a collection of poems and ballads written by Robert Buchanan and published in 1899. The book contains 50 poems that explore the themes of imperialism, patriotism, and the glory of the British Empire. The title of the book, The New Rome, refers to the idea that the British Empire was the successor to the ancient Roman Empire, and that Britain was the new center of civilization and culture. The poems in the book celebrate the achievements of the British Empire, from its conquests in India and Africa to its dominance of the seas. They also explore the darker side of imperialism, with poems that address the exploitation of native peoples and the cost of war. The New Rome is a powerful testament to the Victorian era's belief in the superiority of British culture and its role in shaping the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
