Book Description

Front. & engr. title after H. Corbould, printed title, ad. on verso of final leaf. Bookplate of D. Wickham.
Dealer Notes
Roff pp79-83. A lovely copy of Lamb’s adaptation of Chapman’s Homer, written for William Godwin’s Juvenile Library. Godwin objected to some of Lamb’s grittier passages, but Lamb was not to be beaten, and requested Godwin not to ‘plague yourself and me with nonsensical objections’. Appropriately, the Preface advises the work is ‘designed as a supplement to the Adventures of Telemachus. ... The picture which it exhibits is that of a brave man struggling with adversity ...’.
Author LAMB, Charles.
Date 1808
Binding Orig. drab boards, paper spine label.
Publisher Printed by T. Davison, Whitefriars, for the Juvenile Library.
Condition A v.g. well-preserved copy
