    Description

    Illustrated, Leather Binding

    Illustrated frontispiece portrait of Cowper with facsimile signature and numerous illustrated plates throughout. Includes a biography of William Cowper and translations of his teacher, Vincent Bourne's Latin poetry. Many of the poems published in this work were written on Cowper's recovery of his attack of insanity, where he believed he was condemned to hell and the influence of this can be seen in his pieces, The Progress of Error and Human Frailty.
