Written in 1826, this is one of those poems that gave the Romantic period a bad name.
The English novelist Samuel Butler wrote in 1903 that the real “moral of the poem was that young people cannot begin too soon to exercise discretion in the obedience they pay to their papa and mamma.”
The poem gives no reason for Casabianca’s father’s ordering him to remain on deck. His death is not heroic but pathetic and senseless.
Hemans’s poem is “based on actual events” in much as are some Hollywood films. In the real battle of 1798, the boy was about ten years old. The order to stay at his post is a figment of the poet’s imagination.
See Robert Southey’s “Life of Nelson” (1819) for the true story.
