Hilaire Belloc
Hilaire Belloc followed a different style of poetry which
brought enormous humour and enjoyment. He was a social critic in his poetry. He
has made an effort to pick out the loopholes and weaknesses in the practical
society.
Belloc was born in France. He was educated at the university
of Oxford. He even was elected a member of the British Parliament in 1906.
Belloc was a devoted Christian. It appears that he showed a
different eye at the revolutionary scientific development in the world and he
was quite pessimistic about them.
In his poem ‘The microbe’, he emphasises that he does not
believe in the concept of micro- organism although scientist proved it.
Actually most of his poems are considered as satires. He
tried to offer an alternative to Socialism and Communism.
