Question

The poem, "After Blenheim" is ironical. Justify this with an example from the poem. Whom did Old Kaspar give credit for their victory​

Answer 1

Answer:

"After Blenheim" is an anti-war poem written by English Romantic poet laureate Robert Southey in 1796. The 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.
