What Our Customers Say...

Description

Illustrated, Leather Binding

A collection of poetry by Samuel Rogers. Including 'The Pleasures of Memory', 'Ode to Superstition', 'Imitated from a Greek Epigram', 'To a Friend on His Marriage', and more. Rogers was a Romantic poet who, despite being very celebrated during his lifetime, has been eclipsed by his colleagues such as Byron and Coleridge since his death. He was great friends with many popular romantic poets, and kept enlightening and amusing recollections of the artistic and literary life of London in that era. Illustrated by Thomas Stothard. Stothard was an engraver and illustrator who studied at the Royal Academy, soon after becoming the librarian to the Academy. He also illustrated editions of William Cowper's poems, editions of 'The Pilgrims Progress', and editions of 'Robinson Crusoe'. Prior owner's ink inscription to the recto to the front free endpaper, 'Mary Walton 1801'. Prior owner's ink inscription to the head of the title page, 'A. Marcella Walton'.
