The Farmer's Boy; a rural poem par Robert Bloomfield
The poetry's a bit stodgy, but the illustrations by Bewick are to die for.
Includes Richard and Kate, Walter and Jane, The Miller's maid; The widow to her hour-glass, The Fakenham ghost, The French mariner, Dolly and more with exquisite engravings - sadly battered copy with detached covers, no spine and missing title page.
"You ask me about the Farmer's Boy. Don't you think the fellow who wrote it (who is a shoemaker) has a poor mind? Don't you find he is always silly about poor Giles, and those kind of abject phrases, which mark a man that looks up to wealth? None of Burns's Poet-dignity. What do you think? I have just open'd him; but he makes me sick." Lamb letter to Thomas Manning. Nov. 3, 1800
