POEMS OF COWPER
London: J. Johnson & Co., 1812.
2 vols., 8vo (6½" tall). Full calf. Pretty tree calf
binding with dark bands, elegant gilt panels and
titles. Though slightly faded, still a fine regency
binding.
A distinctive Regency binding. 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 less known today, his work remains important
for its far-reaching influence on the development of a
more natural style in English poetry.
