Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poems: Miscellanies, the Mistress, Pindarique Odes, Davideis, Verses Written on Several Occasions The text of this volume is that of the first collected edition of Cowley´s works, a folio volume (i i J ins. x 7 ins.) published in 1668, the year after his death. This folio contains ´ An Account of the Life and Writings of Mr Abraham Cowley. Written to Mr M. Clifford,´ by Thomas Sprat (later, Dean of Westminster and Bishop of Rochester), following W. Faithorne´s engraved portrait of Cowley and the title page (see p. vii), and preceding the Dedicatory Elegy and Cowley´s Preface (see pp. 1, 4). The ´Account´ states that ´Mr. Cowley in his Will recommended to my care the revising of all his Works that were formerly printed, and the collecting of those Papers which he had design´d for the Press. And he did it with this particular Obligation, That I should be sure to let nothing pass, that might seem the least offence to Religion or good Manners....According to his desire and his own intention, I have now set forth his Latin and English Writings, each in a Volume apart; and to that which was before extant in both Languages, I have added all that I could find in his Closet, which he had brought to any manner of perfection.´ The present volume contains the ´ four parts ´ which had constituted the earlier folio of 1656, referred to in Cowley´s Preface (p. 9). It also contains the ´ Verses written on several occasions,´ published by Cowley in 1663, after an unauthorised edition had been printed in Dublin.
