1844 Italy a Poem
What Our Customers Say...

This poem was Rogers' longest work, as well as being his last. It was written inspired by his 1814 journey travelling through Switzerland to Italy, on which he kept a diary of the events and his impressions of the trip. Illustrated with in-text engravings. Written by Samuel Rogers, a Romantic English poet who is often overshadowed by his contemporaries - Byron, Wordsworth, and Coleridge. Prior owner's ink inscription to the recto to the front free endpaper, 'Emma Clapham with her Uncle John's Love, June 1848'.
