DNB notes: “Possibly his greatest achievement however was his didactic poem Triumphs of Temper 1781 which ‘was to reform the entire feminine mind of England by the advice’ Bishop 53. This allegorical work aspired in rhyming couplets to teach young women the virtues of a pleasant nature. Its advice was heeded by some: Emma Hamilton thanked Hayley ‘for the lessons she had learnt from the poem’ p.Jaffe Drawings by George Romney 1978 44 and asked Romney to inform Hayley that his poem ‘made me Lady H. … for Sir W. minds more temper than beauty’ ibid. Triumphs of Temper ran into fourteen editions and proved to be the most durable of all his publications.†Bentley BB 471. Essick William Blake’s Commercial Book Illustrations XLIII. J.

1868124106London: John Camden Hotten 1868. Second edition of Swinburne's work on seminal Romantic poet William Blake. Octavo original cloth with illustrations from Blake's designs in facsimile including 6 hand-colored plates. In very good condition. Bookplate. English poet painter and printmaker William Blake is widely considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age. He produced a diverse and symbolically rich oeuvre which embraced the imagination as "the body of God" or "human existence itself". Although Blake was considered somewhat mad by contemporaries for his idiosyncratic views he is held in high regard by later critics for his expressiveness and creativity and for the philosophical and mystical undercurrents within his work.
