Euthanasia: A Poem in Four Cantos of Spenserian Meter on the Discovery of the Northwest Passage by Sir John Franklin is a literary work written by Erasmus Henry Brodie and published in 1866. The poem is structured into four cantos, each written in Spenserian meter, a poetic form popularized by the English poet Edmund Spenser. The poem is centered around the discovery of the Northwest Passage by Sir John Franklin, a British explorer who led an expedition to find a sea route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through the Arctic. The expedition famously ended in disaster, with Franklin and his crew perishing in the harsh Arctic environment. Brodie uses the poem to explore themes of death, mortality, and the ethics of euthanasia. The title, Euthanasia, refers to the practice of intentionally ending a person's life to relieve their suffering. Brodie raises questions about whether euthanasia would have been a humane option for Franklin and his crew as they faced starvation, disease, and extreme cold. The poem is a reflection on the human condition and the limits of our mortality. Brodie's use of Spenserian meter gives the poem a lyrical quality, while the subject matter adds a somber and contemplative tone. Overall, Euthanasia is a thought-provoking work of literature that explores complex ethical and philosophical questions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
