MOORE'S LALLA ROOKH
London: Longman, Orme, Brown, Green and Longmans, 1838.
8vo (9½" tall). Full crushed red morocco. Superb early
Victorian binding with wide gilt raised bands and fine
gilt tooling to the panels and boards. Gilt dentelles
and all edges. Boards slightly marked.
Finely engraved, full-page plates, after Edward
Corbauld, T.P. Stephanoff and K. Meadows. "Lalla Rookh
was published in 1817, and at once gained a success
rivalling Scott and Byron. Moore's fame speedily
became European; perhaps no English poem of that age
has been so frequently translated? Its most
remarkable characteristic is perhaps the poet's
extreme dexterity in cloaking Irish patriotic
aspirations under the garb of oriental romance." (DNB).
