The title of the poem ‘After Blenheim’ refers to the Battle of Blenheim.
Southey’s poem After Blenheim is an anti-war poem. He is ironic here to present the fact that people in general glorify war and war-heroes without knowing what good it does to mankind or why a victory is called ‘great’ or ‘famous’.
In the poem we see that Old Kaspar repeatedly mentions the Battle of Blenheim as a great and famous victory but he does not know the reason. He has a romantic view of war even after receiving the sufferings himself during the war and after thousands of killings. This is all about the hollow romantic ideals regarding war that warmongers have created very carefully in people’s minds. Southey’s poem is a protest against the heroic ideals of war.
So, the moral of the poem is “War can never be great.”

Hii!! Friend,
Here Is Your Answer
__________________
》》In the story, "After Blenheim" which was written by Robert Southey is an anti war poem . This poem is set at the site of the Battle of Blenheim(1704),with the questions of two small children about a skull one of them has found. Their grandfather, an old man, tells them of burned homes, civilian casualties and rotting corpses, while repeatedly calling it "a famous victory". The poem depicts the common man's ignorance of the motives of wars.
But the main theme of the stories are:-
<>Man's cruelty to Man
<>Curiosity and Lack of it
<>Complacency
》》The poem is named so because it contains a short story of Blenheim after the War of Spanish Succession (1704-1715) which was fought between the England and French in the country of Blenheim. This war caused loss of many innocent lives.
