Samuel Rogers — Italy, a Poem

London, T. Cadell, 1836. Leather. A very neat copy of Rogers' longest work, inspired by his travels through Switzerland to Italy. Illustrated throughout with in-text etchings. Inspired by the diary he kept of events and impressions during his tour of Europe with his sister in 1814, as well as later visits to Byron and Shelley in Pisa, this work is Rogers' last and longest. Written by Samuel Rogers, an English poet, during his lifetime one of the most celebrated, although his fame has long since been eclipsed by his Romantic colleagues and friends Wordsworth, Coleridge and Byron. In full calf binding. Externally, smart with bumping to the extremities and rubbing to the spine. A mark to the head of the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean with light age toning and the odd spot. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
