180354894London: Printed by and for C. and R. Baldwin 1803. Very good. First edition of this collection celebrating the revival of the sonnet tracing its history from Spenser to Shakespeare and Milton through contemporaries Charlotte Smith Mary Robinson and a young Leigh Hunt. The English sonnet fell out of fashion in the early 18th century only to come roaring back to popularity with the publication of Charlotte Smith's ELEGIAC SONNETS in 1784. But this volume provides a much wider and more nuanced picture of the development of the English sonnet including Smith's predecessor Thomas Edwards and her contemporaries Anna Seward whom Henderson especially likes William Lisle Bowles Helen Maria Williams and Mary Robinson. Henderson's introduction contextualizes the wide range of sonnets included from the amatory Robinson to the elegiac Smith. This compendium established the state of playing field for the form in the Romantic era and it was a favorite form of Coleridge Keats Shelley and Wordsworth. Coleridge wrote a pamphlet celebrating the form in 1796 and the first poem Wordsworth published was "Sonnet on Seeing Miss Helen Maria Williams Weep" in 1787 an homage to Williams and Charlotte Smith both. A notable Romantic-era collection unusual in so widely acknowledging the debts of English poetry to women writers. Contemporary half roan marbled paper boards gilt-ruled and -lettered spine. Red speckled edges. Illustrated with engraved frontispiece and two further full-page engravings by T.W. Tomkins after P. Henderson. xl 192 pages. Some pencil notes to endpapers. Binding rubbed at extremities some foxing largely marginal to first few gatherings. Printed by and for C. and R. Baldwin unknown

His most-famous poem '<i>The Faerie Queene'</i> is one of fantasy and allegory that celebrated the Tudors and Queen Elizabeth. Spenser explores human emotion consciousness and conflict and drew much of his influence from Italian greats Ariosto and Tasso. He embodied Elizabethan values and British history but he also wanted to have literary freedom balancing history and myth. Samuel Johnson was well-versed with '<i>The Faerie Queene'</i> as it was a 'useful source for obsolete and archaic words' as he was organizing his 'Dictionary'.</p><p>This 1787 edition of the poetical works of Spenser was published as part of John Bell's edition of '<i>The Poets of Great Britain</i>.'

1805SET25-F-4London : F. C. and J. Rivington 1805. Leather. Very Good. 8" by 5";. None. A set of the poetical works of Edmund Spenser widely regarded as one of the greatest English poets. Containing all his best-known poetry including The Faerie Queen April and Astrophel. Spenser's masterpiece is an extensive poem The Faerie Queene. The first three books of The Faerie Queene were published in 1590 and a second set of three books were published in 1596. This extended epic poem deals with the adventures of knights dragons ladies in distress etc. yet it is also an extended allegory about the moral life and what makes for a life of virtue. With engraved frontispiece of Spenser to Volume I. Spenser was called a Poet's Poet and was admired by William Wordsworth John Keats Lord Byron and Alfred Lord Tennyson among others. The language of his poetry is purposely archaic reminiscent of earlier works such as The Canterbury Tales of Geoffrey Chaucer and Il Canzoniere of Francesco Petrarca whom Spenser greatly admired. Spenser's Epithalamion is the most admired of its type in the English language. It was written for his wedding to his young bride Elizabeth Boyle. The poem consists of 365 long lines corresponding to the days of the year; 68 short lines representing the sum of the 52 weeks 12 months and 4 seasons of the annual cycle; and 24 stanzas corresponding to the diurnal and sidereal hours.
