The Wolf At The Door: A Poem, In Six Books is a literary work by George Jesson Davis, published in 1861. The book is a long-form poem that tells the story of a young man named Ralph, who is struggling to make a living in the rural countryside. Ralph's life is turned upside down when a wolf begins to terrorize his community, killing livestock and threatening human life. The poem follows Ralph as he tries to track down and kill the wolf, facing numerous challenges and setbacks along the way.The Wolf At The Door is divided into six books, each of which explores a different aspect of Ralph's journey. Book One introduces the character and sets the scene, while Book Two sees Ralph setting out on his quest to find the wolf. Book Three sees Ralph encountering a number of obstacles, including a fierce storm and a treacherous river. In Book Four, Ralph finally comes face to face with the wolf, but is unable to kill it. Book Five sees Ralph regrouping and planning his next move, while Book Six brings the story to a dramatic conclusion.Throughout the poem, Davis explores themes of perseverance, courage, and the struggle for survival in a harsh and unforgiving world. The book is written in a lyrical, poetic style, and is considered a classic of 19th-century literature.
