Arthur Hugh Clough's 'The Bothie of Tober-Na-Vuolich' is a narrative poem that tells the story of a group of students who spend a summer at a remote Scottish inn, exploring themes of youth, love, and social class. Written in blank verse, the poem reflects the author's interest in the Romantic movement and his desire to address contemporary social issues through literature. Clough's use of vivid imagery and introspective language adds depth to the narrative, creating a thought-provoking reading experience for the audience. The Bothie of Tober-Na-Vuolich stands as a significant work in Victorian poetry, drawing on the traditions of the past while also pushing the boundaries of poetic form and content.
