The Poetical Works Of Thomas Lovell Beddoes Volume Ii Scholars Choice Edition PDF Download

Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Thomas Lovell Beddoes During his own lifetime, with the exception of a few brief contributions to periodicals, Beddoes published nothing but two small volumes. One of these was "The Improvisatore," issued at Oxford in 1821, and so successfully suppressed by its author, that not more than five or six copies are known to exist. It is here reprinted for the first time, from a copy in the collection of Mr. J.Dykes Camp bell. The other was "The Brides' Tragedy," published by the Rivingtons in 1822. This is rare, though by no means so inaccessible as its predecessor. A second edition appeared in 1851. It is here reprinted from a copy of the 1822 original in my own library. At the time of Beddoes' death in 1849 the bulk of his MSS. remained inedited. He specially bequeathed his papers and the disposal of them to Thomas Forbes Kelsall, a solicitor at Fareham, who was the oldest and the most intimate of his English friends.
