A LUXURIOUS SET OF COWPER'S POEMS
The Task. Table Talk and Other Poems. Minor Poems.
London: [printed by C. and C. Whittingham, Chiswick] for John Sharpe, 1825.
3 vols., 12mo (6.5 x 4 inches). Full calf, with twin black labels, wide gilt raised bands and gilt rules framing panels, wide gilt rule framing both boards, dentelles and all edges gilt. Illustrated with fine engraved plates after Richard Westall. Neat ownership inscription dated 1829. Occasional spotting. Boards slightly marked. An excellent set.
A very handsome set of Cowper's poems in a luxurious binding, with superb illustrations after Westall. Cowper was of one the most popular poets of his day, with highlights including the ballad John Gilpin and his highly successful poem about rural ease, The Task. Although perhaps lesser known today, his work remains important for its far-reaching influence on the development of a more natural style in English poetry.
