About This Item
Oxford: The Oxford Bibliographical Society, 1963. First edition. Cloth. Very Good Indeed. 9.5" by 6". Various. A first edition of Norma Russell's 'A Bibliography of William Cowper' to 1837. The volume was published as part of the Oxford Bibliographical Society Publications - this edition in particular being part of the New Series Volume XII. William Cowper 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. Illustrated throughout. In a blue cloth binding. Externally generally smart with slight handling marks. Internally firmly bound with very bright and clean pages throughout. Some light pencil markings the odd page. Slight sticker remnant to front free-endpaper. Very Good Indeed
