The Curse of Kehama, Volume 2 (of 2)
The Curse of Kehama, Volume 2, published in 1810 by Robert Southey, is an epic poem that continues the tale of the malevolent priest Kehama, who seeks godlike power through dark sacrifices. After the death of his son, Kehama places a devastating curse on Ladurlad, the father of a peasant girl, which unexpectedly endows Ladurlad with heroic strength. The poem explores themes of sacrifice, power, and the supernatural through encounters with demons and Hindu deities, making it a notable work in 19th-century English poetry.
