Corbiere, Tristan; and Translated by McElroy, Walter Poems
The Banyan Press 1947 Limited Hardcover Near Fine/No Jacket
Octavo, 65pp., Nice clean crisp book. Gilt lettered spine. This is copy #683 of a limited edition of just 1000 copies. Bilingual edition, with French and English texts printed en face; translator's short introductory biographical note. Also notable for the reproduction of Corbiere's self-portrait as a frontispiece. One of 1000 numbered copies on Bethany paper (of a total edition of 1060). Tristan Corbière (July 18, 1845 - March 1 , 1875), born Édouard-Joachim Corbière, was a French poet born in Coat Congar, Ploujean, near Morlaix in Brittany, where he lived most of his life and where he died. His mother was Marie- Angélique-Aspasie Puyo, 19 years old at the time of his birth, belonged to one of the most prominent families of the local bourgeoisie. His father was Antoine-Édouard Corbière, known for his best-selling novel Le Négrier. During his schooling at the Imperial Lycée of Saint-Brieuc where he studied from 1858 until 1860, he fell prey to a deep depression, and, over several freezing winters, contracted the severe rheumatism which was to disfigure him severely. He blamed his parents for having placed him there. Difficulties in adapting to the harsh discipline of the college gradually developed those characteristics of anarchic disdain and sarcasm which were to give much of his verse its distinctive voice. His work was little known until Paul Verlaine included him in his gallery of poètes maudits, " accursed poets;" but Verlaine's recommendation was enough to get his work noticed and established him as one of the masters acknowledged by the the Symbolists. His only published verse in his lifetime appeared in Les amours jaunes, 1873. Corbière died of tuberculosis at the age of 29.

Cowper, William Poems by William Cowper Embellished with Engravings and a Sketch of His Life [2 Volume Set]
Charing Cross W.H. Reid 1833 Leather Very Good Set Engravings
Octavo, 344/384pp., Gilt lettered and decorated cover and spine. All Edges are gilt. Gilt inner dentelles. Mild foxing. Old names in pencil . Mild scuffing on spines. Green coated endpapers. William Cowper (November 26, 1731 - April 25, 1800) was an English poet and hymnodist. One of the most popular poets of his time, Cowper changed the direction of 18th century nature poetry by writing of everyday life and scenes of the English countryside. He suffered from periods of severe depression, and although he found refuge in a fervent evangelical Christianity, the source of his much-loved hymns, he often experienced doubt and fears that he was doomed to eternal damnation. However, his religious motivations and association with John Newton (who wrote the hymn "Amazing Grace") led to much of the poetry for which he is best remembered in the popular mind. Cowper was seized with dropsy in the spring of 1800 and died in East Dereham, Norfolk.
