Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Three volumes of popular works by William Cowper, comprising of The Task, Table Talk and his Minor Poems. Illustrated, with 6 plates to The Task, 7 plates to Table Talk and 4 plates to Minor Poems. The Task is a blank verse poem in six books, often considered to be Cowper's main achievement. It begins with a mock-Miltonic passage on the origins of the sofa before developing into a discursive meditation on nature, retired life and religious faith. Cowper was a popular English poet and hymnodist. He changed the direction of 18th century nature poetry by composing works on every day life and scenes of the English countryside. To many, he is considered a forerunner of Romantic poetry. Leather bound and gilded detailing to the front boards and spines with marbled end papers and page edges . Externally, some shelf wear but internal pages clean and tightly bound. No inscriptions. All volumes dated 1825. Illustration pages slightly age toned to edges with the odd spot throughout. Very good condition for age.
