Description

Illustrated, Leather Binding

William Cowper (1731 – 1800) was an English poet and hymnodist. One of the most popular poets of his time, Cowper changed the direction of 18th century nature poetry by writing of everyday life and scenes of the English countryside. In many ways, he was one of the forerunners of Romantic poetry. Samuel Taylor Coleridge called him "the best modern poet", whilst William Wordsworth particularly admired his poem Yardley-Oak. Twenty illustrations throughout.

Condition

Internally firmly bound with bright and clean pages throughout, save for some spotting to the first and last few pages throughout, and occasionally to the plates. Very slight loss to title page. Bookplate to front pastedown.
