What Our Customers Say...
Description

The collected poems and letters of Thomas Gray, and his various other works, including essays on architecture and art. Gray is best known for his poem 'Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard', which is included in this volume. However he was an incredibly self-critical poet, and only published thirteen poems during his life. Gray was offered the position of Poet Laureate, but turned it down. He is considered to be pre-Romantic.
