1820	The Edinburgh Monthly Review. July - December 1820. Vol. IV. (Printed for Waugh and Innes, Hunter Square, Edinburgh. G. and W. B. Whittaker, Ave-Marie Lane, and Rodwell and Martin, New Bond Street, London. Sold also by J. Cumming, Dublin. Printed by Balfour and Clark.)	Anonymous (Possibly John Gipson Lockhart)	The July issue reviews a poem by Barry Cornwall, and includes an attack on both Hunt and Keats, "... a more dubious complaint - was it Mr. Leigh Hunt, more than half cured of his cockneyism, and writing, for once, in the spirit of a gentleman, an Englishman, and a true English Poet? ...Now this is cockneyism, and the very worst kind of cockneyism too. It is quite unworthy of any person but Mr. Hunt or Mr. Keats, men who indeed are equally ignorant to all sensible purpose of ancient and modern Italy, but who seem to be very fond of giving themselves airs of a certain sort, merely, we suppose, on the strength of their having been at the King’s theatre pretty often, and perhaps of being in the habit of living among a set of fifth-rate fiddlers and composers of opera bravouras." Wright designed the title page for the 1896 Auvergne Press edition of "The Eve of St. Agnes". Digital and printed version. 4.8 x 8.25.

1821 (1886)	Adonais. An Elegy on the Death of John Keats, Author of Endymion, Hyperion Etc. By Percy B. Shelley. Pisa with the types of didot. 1821. ("Shelley speedily decided which course to follow, and put his Elegy to press at Pisa, where it was ‘printed with the types of Didot.' ") (Note: This is an exact Fac-Simile published within the 1886 edition of "Adonais". Published For The Shelley Society By Reeves and Turner, 196 Strand, London. Three Hundred Copies were printed by Richard Clay & Sons, Bread Street Hill, London. Bungay, Suffolk.)	Shelley, Percy Bysshe	In his preface Shelley writes. "The genius of the lamented person to whose memory I have dedicated these unworthy verses, was not less delicate and fragile than it was beautiful... The savage criticism of his Endymion, which appeared in the Quarterly Review, produced the most violent effect on his susceptible mind; the agitation thus originated ended in the rupture of a blood-vessel..." This later proved to be untrue. He continues "...the succeeding acknowledgments from more candid critics, of the true greatness of his powers, were ineffective to heal the wound thus wantonly inflicted. It may be well said, that these wretched men know not what they do. They scatter their insults and their slanders without heed as to whether the poisoned shaft lights on a heart made callous by many blows..." Shelley laments "I weep for Adonais - he is dead! O, weep for Adonais! though our tears, Thaw not the frost which binds so dear a head! And thou, sad Hour, selected from all years, To mourn our loss, rouse thy obscure compeers, And teach them thine own sorrow, say: with me Died Adonais..." Shelley published his Elegy at Pisa, where it was "printed with the types of Didot." The original price was 3s. 6d (3 Shillings, 6 pence.) and was issued in blue paper wrappers, with woodcut and ornamental border.

Reynell, Little Parkway Street, London)	Hunt, Leigh	From 1830–1832 Leigh Hunt published the Tatler, a daily that was devoted to literary and dramatic criticism. From April 2, 1834 through August 22, 1835 he published the London Journal. From 1837–1838 he was the editor for the Monthly Repository. The January 21, 1835, issue, No. 43, included Hunts’ commentary which was interspersed through out Keats’ "Eve of St. Agnes". This was Hunt’s first essay exclusive composed about this poem. One wonders if Hunt chose issue No. 43 because it was thirteen year earlier that he touched on this poem when he wrote an essay just after it was first published in the volume "Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St. Agnes", which Hunt published in "The Indicator", 1820, No. 43. These weekly issues were later bound in volume form. This 1835 essay was published five years later in the 1840 "The Seer; or, Common-Places Refreshed", a volume of Hunt’s essays. "The Seer" was reprinted in 1850, and in 1896 reprinted by Winslow and Williams’ Auvergne Press. Wright designed the title page of "The Eve of St. Agnes". Original cover price Three Halfpence.

The volume was called: The Seer; or, Common-Places Refreshed. His motto he selected from Shakepeare (m.s.) "Love adds a precious seeing to the eye."

1842	Graham’s Lady’s & Gentlemen’s Magazine. April 1842, Volume XX. (Published by George R. Graham, Philadelphia)	Short, Jeremy; Keats, John	"St. Agnes’ Eve. A Chit-Chat About Keats." Jeremy Short writes "...I have just been reading Keats - shame on the wretches who tortured him to death! ...Genius he had unquestionably, yet he never enjoyed a happy hour... The world, since then, has done tardy justice to his genius - but this did not soothe his sorrows, nor will it reach him in his silent grave... have you ever read ‘The Eve of St. Agnes?’ It is - let me tell you - the poem for which Keats will be loved, and you aught to walk barefoot a thousand miles, like an ancient pilgrim to Loretto, for having neglected to peruse this poem... It has the glow of a landscape seen through a rosy glass - it is warm and blushing, yet pure as a maiden in her first exceeding beauty. As Burgundy is to other wines, as a bride blushing to her lover’s side is to other virgins, so it ‘The Eve of St. Agnes’ to other poems. What luxuriance of fancy, what scope of language, what graphic power it displays!" Wright designed the title page for the 1896 Auvergne Press edition of "The Eve of St. Agnes".

1844
1844	The Rococo (No. 1) (Published by Morris, Willis, & Co., Publishers, No. 4 Ann-Street, New York) New Mirror Extra - No. 8 (in a series of 29 to date). Contains three poems, one of which is "The Eve of St. Agnes", with original notes by N. P. Willis. The term Recoco referred to a style of French design and decor originating in the mid-18th century. Willis explains, "‘The Rococo’ is the quaint, but, in fact, most descriptive name of an ‘Extra’ now in press for the ‘Mirror Library.’ Those of your readers who have been lately in France will be familiar with the term rococo... It came into use about four to five years ago, when it was the rage to look up costly and old-fashioned articles of jewellery and furniture. A valuable stone, for example, in a beautiful but antique setting, was rococo... ‘The Racoco,’ published by the proprietors of the New Mirror, answers this description exactly. It comprises the three most exquisite and absolute creations of pure imagination (in my opinion) that have been produced since Shakspere - ‘Lillian,’ by Praed; ‘The Culprit Fay,’ by Drake; and ‘St. Agnes,’ by Keats..."	Keats, John; Hunt, Leigh; Willis, N.P.	In 1843 Morris, Willis, & Co., began publishing a weekly "The New Mirror". Supplemental to this weekly they offered "Extras" under the title "Mirror Library". By mid-year 1844 they had published 29 volumes which included fifty titles (New Mirror 7/20/44, p255). This is "No. 8" in that series. A series within these 29 volumes was titled "The Recoco", this being "No. 1" in the Recoco series. One of the three poems published in this volume was "The Eve of St. Agnes" with Leigh Hunt’s commentary interspersed through out the poem, first published in the London Journal January 21, 1835. This cover reads (Three of the most delicious poems ever written.) N. P. Willis observes "The writer visited his grave at Rome, and read there the epitaph he himself directed to be graven on the head-stone: ‘Here lies one whose name was written in water.’ It almost requires a poet to appreciate the unreachable delicacy of Keats’s use of language. He plucks his epithets from the profoundest hiding-places of meaning an association." Original Cover Price 12 ½ cents.

Where his comments were interspersed within Agnus in 1840, the poem in totality comes first, then Hunts essay with minor modifications. He introduces the section on Keats with a biography, and who better to write this then this close supporter, colleague and friend. He writes "Keats was born a poet... Repeated editions of him in England, France, and America, attest its triumphant survival of all obloquy; and there can be no doubt that he has taken a permanent station among British Poets, of a very high, if not thoroughly mature, description. ...the Eve of Saint Agnes still appears to me the most delightful and complete specimen of his genius... It is young, but full-grown poetry of the rarest description; graceful as the beardless Apollo; glowing and gorgeous with the colours of romance. ...all good things tend to pleasure in the recollection; when the bitterness of their loss is past, their own sweetness embalms them. ‘A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.’" Wright designed the title page for the 1896 Auvergne Press edition of "The Eve of St. Agnes".

Of the approximately 75 English poets incorporated in this volume, Griswold chose to quote Keats on the title page. He writes of Keats, "...1817, appeared his first volume of poetry, and in the following spring, ‘Endymion.’ They were badly received by the critics. Every one, we suppose, has heard of the bitter review attributed to Gifford, in the Quarterly, which, with some show of reason, was said to have caused the poet’s death... Though depressed, he was not disheartened, and he wrote in two years... ‘The eve of St. Agnes’ which were printed in 1820. ‘He sent them out,’ says Shelley, with ‘a careless despair.’ without confidence or fear. But the world was now prepared to render a different verdict upon his work... Praise was not yet universal, but it came from the high-priests of genius... Keats was the greatest of all poets who have died so young. His imagination, which he most delighted to indulge through the medium of mythological fable, was affluent and warm... Many of his sonnets possess a Miltonic vigour, and his ‘Eve of St. Agnes’ is as highly finished, almost, as the masterpieces of Pope." Included is "The Eve of St, Agnes".

Dear Lord Jeffrey, It is with great pleasure that I dedicate to you these late memorials and relics of a man, whose early genius you did much to rescue from the alternative of obloquy or oblivion. The merits which your generous sagacity perceive under so many disadvantages, are now recognised (sp) by every student and lover of poetry in this country, and have acquired a still brighter fame, in that other and wider England beyond the Atlantic, whose national youth is, perhaps, more keenly susceptible of poetic impressions and delights, than the maturer and more conscious fatherland..."

"...In 1818 he published his ‘Endymion;’ and this poem was so severely - nay, savagely, criticized in the Quarterly Review, that the author became excited in an extraordinary degree, ‘the first effects of which,’ says Shelley, ‘are described to me to have resembled insanity, and it was by assiduous watching that he was restrained from suicide... In 1820, he published... ‘The Eve of St. Agnes.’ These were reviewed by the critics with a kinder spirit, and with an author less sensitive...

Illustrated by 120 Designs, Original and From the Antique, Drawn on Wood by George Scharf, Jun., F.S.A., F.R.S.L. (Published by Edward Moxon, Dover Street, London. Bradbury and Evans, Printers Extraordinary To The Queen, Whitefriars.) (Published in 1855 by E. H. Butler & Co., Philadelphia. C. Sherman, Printer.)	Keats, John; Milnes, Richard Monckton	In 1850 Edward Moxon published a version of "The Poetical Works of John Keats" that had previously been published in 1840 (Taylor) and 1841 (Smith). This 1854 edition, first published in 1848, was an expanded version with an extensive "Memoir of John Keats" by Richard Monckton Milnes (Lord Houghton). In 1848 it was originally Volume II, published along with "Life, Letters, and Literary Remains of John Keats" (Volume I). George Cupples writes in the Eclectic Review "A new path may be considered to open in the plan taken this season, by a very elegant edition of Keats. No less than a hundred and twenty designs... have here been on wood by George Scharf... The volume is not only a marvel of wood-engraving, while it exhibits qualities entitled to high praise, from the artistic point of view... Here Mr. Scharf, whose own designs are sometimes excellent, stands yet higher in care for correct transference to the block, with minuteness not to be surpassed..." (Apr 1860, p370). As in the other three volumes it combines "Endymion" published in 1818, "Lamia. Isabella, The Eve of St. Agnes and other Poems" published in 1820, as well as miscellaneous poems, sonnets, epistles and stanzas. Wright designed the title page for the 1896 Auvergne Press edition of "The Eve of St. Agnes". Digital and printed version. 4 x 6.6. For more information on the Eve of St. Agnes see our Wright Study.

Appleton and Company, New York.)	Jeffrey, Francis	First published in August 1820, Jeffrey reviewed "Lamia. Isabella, The Eve of St. Agnes and other Poems." Jeffrey writes "We... have been exceedingly struck with the genius they (the poems) display, and the spirit of poetry which breathes through all their extravagances... One of the sweetest of the smaller poems is that entitled ‘The Eve of St. Agnes:’ though we can now afford but a scanty extract.. Mr. Keats has unquestionably a very beautiful imagination, a perfect ear for harmony, and a great familiarity with the finest diction of English poetry; but he must learn not to misuse or misapply these advantages; and neither to waste the good gifts of nature and study on intractable themes, not to luxuriate too recklessly on such as are more suitable."

He introduces the section on Keats with a biography, and who better to write this then this close supporter, colleague and friend. He writes "Keats was born a poet... Repeated editions of him in England, France, and America, attest its triumphant survival of all obloquy; and there can be no doubt that he has taken a permanent station among British Poets, of a very high, if not thoroughly mature, description. ...the Eve of Saint Agnes still appears to me the most delightful and complete specimen of his genius... It is young, but full-grown poetry of the rarest description; graceful as the beardless Apollo; glowing and gorgeous with the colours of romance. ...all good things tend to pleasure in the recollection; when the bitterness of their loss is past, their own sweetness embalms them. ‘A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.’" Wright designed the title page for the 1896 Auvergne Press edition of "The Eve of St. Agnes". 5 x 7.5.

Mr. Allston was at that time the only discriminating judge among the strangers to Keats who were residing abroad, and he took occasion to emphasize in my hearing his opinion of the early effusions of the yong poet in words like these: - ‘They are crude materials of real poetry, and Keats is sure to become a great poet.’ ...in America he (Keats) has always had a solid fame, independent of the old English prejudices."

Original list price 3s 6d [3 shillings, 6 pence.])	Keats, John; Rossetti, William Michael	This volume begins with a memoir by Rossetti. He writes, "...A scribe in the Quarterly Review - i believe it was the editor, Mr. Gifford - undertook to write Keats down an ass, and many a responsive bray, sounding loudest and most jubilant from Blackwood’s Magazine, ratified the dictum at the time; but lo! After a few years had elapsed, it was found that the reviewer had only succeeded in writing himself down an ass. The lash brandished against Keats’s back had but recoiled, and scored the more pachydermatous loins of Gifford." In 1820 "Lamia, Isabella, the Eve of St. Agnes, and other Poems" was published. It was "received in a fairly respectful tone; and a notice by Jeffrey shortly appeared in the Edinburgh Review, calculated to redress the stolid injustice previously done by the Quarterly and by Blackwood."

I took with me two or three of the poems I had received from Keats. I could not but anticipate that hunt would speak encouragingly, and indeed approvingly, of the compositions - Written, too, by a youth under age; but my partial spirit was not prepared for the unhesitating and prompt admiration which broke forth before he had read twenty lines of the first poem. Horance Smith happened to be there on the occasion, and he was not less demonstrative in his appreciation of their merits...

Lowell, James Russell	This volume is comprises of five biographies by Harvard Professor James Russell Lowell, and include Dante, Spenser, Wordsworth, Milton and Keats. Of Keats he writes, "Three men almost contemporaneous with each other, - Wordsworth, Keats, and Byron, - were the great means of bringing back English poetry from the sandy deserts of rhetoric, and recovering for her triple inheritance of simplicity, sensuousness, and passion... Keats had the broadest mind, or at least his mind was open on more sides, and he was able to understand Wordsworth and judge Bryon, equally conscious, through his artistic sense, of the greatnesses of the one and the many littlenesses of the other... Keats certainly had more of the penetrative and sympathetic imagination which belongs to the poet, of that imagination which identifies itself with the momentary object of its contemplative, than any man of these later days... His imagination was his bliss and bane... in him we have an example of the renaissance going on almost under our own eyes, and that the intellectual ferment was in him kindled by a purely English leaven.... Keats had an instinct for fine words, which are in themselves pictures and ideas, and had more of the power of poetic expression than any modern English poet... The poems of Keats mark an epoch in English poetry..." Original list price $2.00. Wright designed the title page for the 1896 Auvergne Press edition of "The Eve of St. Agnes". 4.75 x 7.5.

Owen, Frances Mary	Of "The Eve of St. Agnes" Owen writes, "is told with a richness of detail, an exquisite poise of imagination, a reticence which controls its enthusiastic expansion, and a grace and purity and calm which modulate its passion. It is one of the best known of the poems of Keats, and rightly, for it appeals strongly to our human feeling, though it lacks, because it does not need, the prophetic element of ‘Endymion’ and ‘Hyperion’. The ‘Eve of St Agnes’ is the most picturesque of all the poems of Keats, its descriptions by far the most artistic."

In him a vigorous understanding developed itself in equal measure with the divine faculty; thought emancipated itself from expression without becoming its tyrant; and music and meaning floated together, accordant as swan and shadow, on the smooth element of his verse.

Browne, in connection with the publishing house of Jansen, McClurg & Co. In 1881 they published the first edition of "Golden Poems By British and American Authors". In this volume of "Golden Poems", Browne compiled 550 selected poems by 300 different British and American poets. It reads like a who's who of poetry. From an ad in the November 1, 1907 issue of The Dial, "Golden Poems" is a fireside volume for the thousands of families who love poetry. It is meant for those who cannot afford all the collected works of their favorite poets - it offers the poems they like best, all in one volume. List price in 1907 was $1.50.

(Inset: Cover and Title Page for "The Eve of St. Agnes", published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin [1975]. Printed by R. Clay, Sons and Taylor, Printers, London.)	Keats, John; Illustrated by Edward H. Wehnert (but no credit given to him); Engraved by Horace Harral, Thomas Bolton, and James Cooper.	The Choice Series, a set of fourteen books, one of which was "The Eve of St. Agnes", was first published in 1875 by Cassell, Petter & Galpin, New York. An ad by Cassell, Petter & Galpin in the December, 1875 (Christmas) issue of Publisher’s Weekly, page 844, announced New Books, included The Choice Series and "The Eve of St. Agnes". Each sold for $1.25. John Cassell, a publisher had added two partners to form Cassell, Petter & Galpin. In 1878 with the addition of a new partner, Robert Turner, the firm became Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. The address was 596 Broadway, New York. In the January 15, 1881 issue of P.W, page 43, they announced a move to new quarters at 739-741 Broadway, New York. An ad in the Sept. 15, 1882 issue of Publisher’s Weekly, page 514, announced New Editions from Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. which included The Choice Series, in "new and handsome binding", $1.00 each. The set included the same fourteen books published in 1875, one of which was this volume of "The Eve of St. Agnes". The title page does not reference the new address, but the old, 596 Broadway. C.P.G. & Co. ran an ad in the January 29, 1881 issue of Publisher’s Weekly listing the "books published in 1880", and no mention of "The Choice Series". Taking all of this into consideration, it seems safe to assume that this volume was published in 1882. A date inscribed on the front fly leaf is dated December 25, 1883. In 1888 the company’s name was changed again to Cassell & Co, Ltd. Wright designed the title page for the 1896 Auvergne Press edition. 4.9 x 7. First Edition.

"But who would part with what he has left us, let the faults be what they may? No works of our literature are more truly poetical, none more completely carry one away into an ideal realm, where worldly noises come to the ear, it they reach it al all, subdued and deadened; none breathe out of them, and around them, a more bewitching atmosphere." Part of the English Classics Series (No. 40), with philological and explanatory notes by J. W. Hales, M. A., late fellow and assistant tutor of Christ’s College, Cambridge; Barrister at-law of Lincoln’s Inn; Lecturer in English literature and classical composition at King’s College, London.

Appendix II: "Later remarks on Keats by Leigh Hunt" was first published by Smith, Elder, and Co., London in 1844, entitled "Imagination and Fancy". He writes "Keats was born a poet... Repeated editions of him in England, France, and America, attest its triumphant survival of all obloquy; and there can be no doubt that he has taken a permanent station among British Poets, of a very high, if not thoroughly mature, description. ...the Eve of Saint Agnes still appears to me the most delightful and complete specimen of his genius..."

Keats, John; Forman, Harry Buxton	Where the 1883 Reeves editions comprised four volumes, this 1884 is a single volume. This volume begins with the extensive Editor’s Preface, dated December 1883. Forman writes: "The manuscripts of Endymoin, Lamia, The Eve of St. Agnes and portions of Isabella should be mentioned as especially important among a great mass of manuscripts which have been consulted... Hunt, in his admirable remarks upon The Eve of St. Agnes, points to the fainting of Porphyre at sight of Madeline as the one flaw in the poem, and apologizes for it on the score of the poet’s enfeebled state of health at the time. But I think this is rather hard on all three - poem, poet and disease. If it be so decided a fault, I fear we must acquit bodily disease of any part or lot in it, for Keats’s young people always had a way of fainting, whether conceived in his more vigorous or in his less vigorous period..."

C 1885	The Poems of John Keats, With Prefatory Memoir. (Published by Frederick Warne and Co., LTD. London and New York. Printed in Great Britain by Mackays LTD., Chatham.)	Keats, John; (Warne, Frederick)	"Every year, since the death of Keats, has added to the number of those who appreciate and love his poems, and every new Edition of them has been welcomed by the Public. The present one contains all the Poems published during the young poet’s life: those in the ‘Literary Remains,’ gathered together after his death by his sympathetic editor, Lord Houghton; and several taken from papers and magazines to which Keats contributed... his short life was not a happy one, and he died without knowing that he had won the laurel of immortality." His first "volume of poems, which appeared in 1817, fell unnoticed from the press... In 1820 appeared ‘Lamia, Isabella, Eve of St. Agnes and other poems". It was praised, but sold slowly. Of these poems, and of ‘Endymion,’ Lord Jeffrey, in the Edinburgh Review of August, 1820, says:- ‘We had never happened to see either of these volumes till very lately, and have been exceedingly struck with the genius they display and the spirit of poetry which breathes through all their extravagances... The ‘Eve of St. Agnes’... is unequalled for the for beauty of description... His brief, hapless life - his exquisite genius - the modesty and even bitterness of his self-given epitaph - have greatly endeared him to his countrymen, and the one name they, perhaps, hold most dear amongst the names of their national poets is that of Keats." Excerpts from the introductory Prefactory Memoir, left unnamed, but most likely Frederick Warne. He formed his publishing house in 1865. Initially he rejected Beatrix Potter’s tale of a rabbit, but in 1901 reconsidered and published "The Tale of Peter Rabbit". Wright designed the title page for the 1896 Auvergne Press edition.

Edited With a Bibliographical Introduction By Thomas J. Wise. "Of this Book, Three Hundred Copies have been printed." (Shelley Society Publications. Second Series. No. 1.

Adonais was also Published and Printed in 1891 at the Clarendon Press, Oxford by Horace Hart, Printer to the University. Edited with Introduction and Notes by William Michael Rossetti.	Shelley, Percy Bysshe; Wise, Thomas J.	June the 8th, 1821, Shelley wrote to Mr. Charles Oilier, from Pisa, the following letter, which is given in the Shelley Memorials—1859—pp. 155, 156: "Dear Sir, You may announce for publication a poem entitled Adonais. It is a lament on the death of poor Keats, with some interposed stabs on the assassins of his peace and of his fame; and will be preceded by a criticism on Hyperion, asserting the due claims which that fragment gives him to the rank which I have assigned him..." In his preface Shelley writes. "The genius of the lamented person to whose memory I have dedicated these unworthy verses, was not less delicate and fragile than it was beautiful... The savage criticism of his Endymion, which appeared in the Quarterly Review, produced the most violent effect on his susceptible mind; the agitation thus originated ended in the rupture of a blood-vessel..." This later proved to be untrue. He continues "...the succeeding acknowledgments from more candid critics, of the true greatness of his powers, were ineffective to heal the wound thus wantonly inflicted. It may be well said, that these wretched men know not what they do. They scatter their insults and their slanders without heed as to whether the poisoned shaft lights on a heart made callous by many blows..." Shelley published his Elegy at Pisa, where it was "printed with the types of Didot." The original price was 3s. 6d (3 Shillings, 6 pence.) and was issued in blue paper wrappers, with woodcut and ornamental border. (See 1821 fac-simile.) Original list price Ten Shillings.

Title Page: A Biography of the great American President from an entirely new standpoint, with fresh and invaluable material. Lincoln's life and character portrayed by those who knew him. A complete personal description and biography of him who was the humblest and greatest of American citizens, the truest and most loyal of men, and a central figure in the world's history. With nearly 100 original illustrations. Prepared and arranged by Francis F. Browne, Compiler of "The Golden Treasury of Poetry and Prose", "Poems of the Civil War", etc. Copyright 1896, by F. F. Browne. Preface: This book aims to give a view, clearer and completer than has been or could be given before, of the personality of Abraham Lincoln. A life so full of incident, and a character so many-sided as his, can be understood only with the lapse of time. a sense of the exhaustless interest of that life and character, and the inadequacy of ordinary-constructed biographies to portray his many-sidedness, suggested the preparation of a work upon the novel plan her represented. Begun several years ago, the undertaking proved of such unexpected magnitude that its completion has been delayed beyond the anticipated time... Other characters are brought into prominence only as they are associated with the chief actor in the great drama. Many of them are disappearing - fading into the smoky and lurid background; but that colossal central figure, playing one of the grandest roles ever set upon the stage of human life, becomes more impressive as the scenes recede. 5.5 x 8.5.

1887	Among My Books. Second Series. By James Russell Lowell (Hard Cover) (Published by Houghton, Mifflin and Company, Boston. 11 East Seventeenth Street, New York. Printed by Riverside Press, Cambridge. Electrotyped and Printed by Welch, Bigelow, & Co., Cambridge. Copyright 1876, By James Russell Lowell.) First published in 1876: Among My Books. Second Series. By James Russell Lowell, Professor of Belles-Lettres in Harvard College. (Published by James R. Osgood and Company, Late Ticknor & Fields, and Fields, Osgood, & Co., Boston. Printed by University Press: Welch, Bigelow, & Co., Cambridge. Electrotyped and Printed by Welch, Bigelow, & Co., Cambridge.)	Lowell, James Russell	This volume is comprises of five biographies by Harvard Professor James Russell Lowell, and include Dante, Spenser, Wordsworth, Milton and Keats. Of Keats he writes, "Three men almost contemporaneous with each other, - Wordsworth, Keats, and Byron, - were the great means of bringing back English poetry from the sandy deserts of rhetoric, and recovering for her triple inheritance of simplicity, sensuousness, and passion... Keats had the broadest mind, or at least his mind was open on more sides, and he was able to understand Wordsworth and judge Bryon, equally conscious, through his artistic sense, of the greatnesses of the one and the many littlenesses of the other... Keats certainly had more of the penetrative and sympathetic imagination which belongs to the poet, of that imagination which identifies itself with the momentary object of its contemplative, than any man of these later days... His imagination was his bliss and bane... in him we have an example of the renaissance going on almost under our own eyes, and that the intellectual ferment was in him kindled by a purely English leaven.... Keats had an instinct for fine words, which are in themselves pictures and ideas, and had more of the power of poetic expression than any modern English poet... The poems of Keats mark an epoch in English poetry..." Wright designed the title page for the 1896 Auvergne Press edition of "The Eve of St. Agnes". 5 x 7.75.

1887	Keats. By Sidney Colvin. Edited by John Morley. (Hard Cover) (Published by Harper & Brothers, Publishers, Franklin Square, New York.)	Colvin, Sidney; Edited by Morley, John	A biography and study of Keats life and work. "Science may one day ascertain the laws of distribution and descent which govern the firths of genius, but in meantime a birth like that of Keats presents to the ordinary mind a striking instance of nature's inscrutability. If we consider the other chief poets of the time, we can commonly recognize either some strain of power in their blood or some strong inspiring influence in the scenery and traditions of their home... We know not how much of Hyperion had been written when he laid it aside in January to take up the composition of St. Agnes's Eve, that unsurpassed example — nay, must we not rather call it unequalled? — of the pure charm of coloured and romantic narrative in English verse."

1887	Life of John Keats by William Michael Rossetti. (Published by Walter Scott, 24 Warwick Lane, Paternoster Row, London.)	Rossetti, William Michael; Edited by Robertson, Eric S.	"‘The Eve of St. Agnes’, though it assumes a narrative form, is hardly a narrative, but rather a monody of dreamy richness, a pictured and scenic presentment, which sentiment again permeates and over-rules. I rate it far above ‘Isabella’ - and indeed above all those poems of Keats, not purely lyrical, in which human or quasi-human agents bear their part, except only the ballad ‘La Belle Dame sans Merci’ and the uncompleted ‘Eve of St. Mark.’ "Hyperion’ stands aloof in lonely majesty; but I think that, in the long run, even ‘Hyperion’ represents the genius of Keats less adequately, and past question less characteristically, than ‘The Eve of St, Agnes’... The power of ‘The Eve of St, Agnes’... lies in the delicate transfusion of sight and emotion into sound; in making pictures out of words, or turning words into pictures; of giving a visionary beauty to the closest items of description; of holding all the materials of the poem in a long-drawn suspense of music and reverie... is par excellence the poem of ‘glamour’... Perhaps no reader has ever risen from ‘The Eve of St. Agnes’ dissatisfied. After a while he can question the grounds of his satisfaction, and may possibly find them wanting; but he has only to peruse the poem again, and the same spell is upon him."

1888	The Poetical Works of John Keats. With an Introductory Sketch by John Hogben. The Canterbury Poets. Edited by William Sharp. (Published by Walter Scott, 24 Warwick Lane, London. 3 East 14^th Street, New York. Printed by The Walter Scott Press, Newcastle-on-Tyne.)	Keats, John; Hogben, John	This volume begins with an extensive introductory sketch by John Hogben. "The impression the subject of the sketch has made on the world is, in may ways, a deep and notable one. The high value, and the Spring-freshness of his poems; the harsh treatment he received at the hand of his inferiors; the unfulfilled, yet devouring, love for the woman of his choice; the early death in a foreign land - all serve to fill the picture of his life with tenderest light and shadow. On instinctively hushes one’s voice while speaking of Keats; and it is difficult to restrain a certain enthusiasm of generosity which might easily be spent at the expense of judgment. Original price 1s (shilling)." Wright designed the title page for the 1896 Auvergne Press edition. Digital and printed version. 3.8 x 5.5.

First published in 1883 by Clark & Maynard. "But who would part with what he has left us, let the faults be what they may? No works of our literature are more truly poetical, none more completely carry one away into an ideal realm, where worldly noises come to the ear, it they reach it al all, subdued and deadened; none breathe out of them, and around them, a more bewitching atmosphere." Part of the English Classics Series (No. 40 of 78), with philological and explanatory notes by J. W. Hales, M.

1889	The Poetical Works and Other Writings of John Keats. Edited with Notes and Appendices By H. Buxton Forman. In Four Volumes. Reissues with Additions and Corrections. Volume I - Poetry. (Note: Volume II was also reissued with minor Additions and Corrections.) (Published by Reeves & Turner, 196 Strand, London. Printed by Chiswick Press, C. Whittingham and Co., Tooks Court, Chancery Lane.)	Keats, John	Volume I begins with the extensive Editor’s Preface, dated October 1883. Forman writes: "The manuscripts of Endymoin, Lamia, The Eve of St. Agnes and portions of Isabella should be mentioned as especially fruitful of various readings and canceled passages... Hunt, in his admirable remarks upon The Eve of St. Agnes, points to the fainting of Porphyre at sight of Madeline as the one flaw in the poem, and apologizes for it on the score of the poet’s enfeebled state of health at the time. But I think this is rather hard on all three - poem, poet and disease. If it be so decided a fault, I fear we must acquit bodily disease of any part or lot in it, for Keats’s young people always had a way of fainting, whether conceived in his more vigorous or in his less vigorous period..."

Keats, John; Tutin, J. R.	Published as part of the "Routledge Pocket Library" series. This volume begins with a "Prefatory Note". Tutin explains, "The present volume has been carefully prepared, in the case of poems published during Keats' lifetime, from the author's own text. The posthumous pieces included are edited from the best sources. It will be seen that I have included all the pieces contained in Keats' volume of 1820 entitled "Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St. Agnes, and other Poems" and I have followed the author's own arrangement in the case of these pieces. The poems selected from the volume published in 1817 also follow Keats' arrangement. The posthumous pieces given are, as nearly as ascertainable, arranged in the chronological order of their composition. This little volume contains several poems not included in any other non - copyright edition." Wright designed the title page for the 1896 Auvergne Press edition. Digital and printed version. 2.5 x 4.

Keats, John; Forman, H Buxton	"The Library Edition of Keats’s writings published in 1883 was the first serious attempt to bring together in one collection the whole works of Keats in verse and prose and all the most important collateral matter illustrating the works or throwing light upon the career of the man. Of that edition a reissue has been recently called for. In the meantime, the materials for dealing with Keats’s works have been considerably enlarged... Of The Eve of St. Agnes (Volume II, pages 71 to 105) we have now what is almost as good from critical uses as the missing holograph of the first seven stanzas..." Includes minor changes.

Hunt, Leigh; Keats, John	Hunt begins this volume with an essay "An Answer to the Question What is Poetry!" He includes selections from Spenser; Marlowe; Shakspeare; Ben Johnson; Beaumont and Fletcher; Middleton, Decker and Webster; Milton; Coleridge; Shelley; and Keats. This includes "The Eve of St. Agnes" and Hunts Essay, first published in "The Seer" 1840, but with modifications. Where his comments were interspersed within Agnus in 1840, the poem in totality comes first, then Hunts essay with minor modifications. He introduces the section on Keats with a biography, and who better to write this then this close supporter, colleague and friend. He writes "Keats was born a poet... Repeated editions of him in England, France, and America, attest its triumphant survival of all obloquy; and there can be no doubt that he has taken a permanent station among British Poets, of a very high, if not thoroughly mature, description. ...the Eve of Saint Agnes still appears to me the most delightful and complete specimen of his genius... It is young, but full-grown poetry of the rarest description; graceful as the beardless Apollo; glowing and gorgeous with the colours of romance. ...all good things tend to pleasure in the recollection; when the bitterness of their loss is past, their own sweetness embalms them. ‘A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.’" Wright designed the title page for the 1896 Auvergne Press edition of "The Eve of St. Agnes".

"The object of the chronological arrangement of this edition, and the consequent insertion of some pieces of comparatively little value, is to present a faithful self-drawn literary picture of the short and sad poetical life. Had Keats lived to maturity his claim on the larger sympathies of mankind... This volume alone contains all his works..." The volume begins with the Houghton Memoir. "The Life, Letters, and Literary Remains of John Keats, published first in 1848, and in a more complete form in 1867, contained the biography of the poet, mainly conveyed in the language of his own correspondence... The ‘Adonais’ of Shelley remains the immortal literary monument of the life, work, and sorrows of John Keats." Includes an etching of John Keats by C.H.
