MOORE'S LALLA ROOKH
London: Longman, Brown, Green and Longmans, 1846.
8vo (9½" tall). Full red crushed morocco. Superb early
Victorian binding with gilt raised bands, ornate gilt
panels and boards, dentelles and all edges. Armorial
bookplate.
Finely engraved 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).
