Beschreibung

A collection of stories in verse from the Reverend George Crabbe. Third edition. George Crabbe (24 December 1754 3 February 1832) was an English poet and naturalist. The two works for which Crabbe became best known were The Village (1783) and The Borough (1810), both lengthy poems dealing with the way of life he had experienced. In 1783, he also married Sarah. In 1814, he became Rector of Trowbridge in Wiltshire, where he remained. By the time of his death, he was well regarded and a friend of William Wordsworth, Sir Walter Scott and other major literary figures of the time. Complete in two volumes. In quarter diced bindings with marbled boards. Externally sound, though rubbed. Some slight loss to paper on front board of volume II. Front joint of volume I starting, but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Armorial bookplate of Nathaniel Preston to front pastedowns of both volumes. Ink signatures to title pages. Pages are bright, with just the odd spot (heavier to endpapers of volume II). Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers LTH10-F-7
