Leather. Condition: Good Only. A scarce eight volume, leather bound set of The Works of Alexander Pope edited by William Lisle Bowles. This is the first edition of The Works of Alexander Pope that was edited by William Lisle Bowles. Eight volumes of Ten. Missing Volumes V and VII "In 1806 Bowles published the work for which he is best known: a ten-volume edition of the work of Alexander Pope with a sketch of his life and strictures on his poetry. His comments on the poet's life were written in a severe, even hostile spirit. Bowles's estimate of Pope as a poet gave rise to a long controversy". (DNB) William Lisle Bowles, 1762 1850, was an English poet and critic. Bound in leather with gilt lettering. Externally, worn.

First edition. [4], xi, [1], 111pp, [1]. With a half-title and an initial leaf of publisher's advertisements. Uncut in original publisher's buff paper boards, printed paper lettering-piece to spine. Lightly rubbed, chipping to spine. Recent book-label of Eric Gerald Stanley to FEP, scattered spotting. Presentation copy, inked inscription to head of half-title: 'With the Author's Respects / June 4th 1822'. The first edition, in original state, of a blank verse poem by Church of England clergyman William Lisle Bowles (1762-1850) that takes as its inspiration the rebellions of the Danes and earls against William the Conqueror. The work was not as favourably reviewed as his earlier efforts. The Eclectic Review (1823) wrote: 'We have that respect for Mr. Bowles as an old acquaintance, that would lead us to speak as favourably as we can of his present production; but the truth is, that he has attempted something above his reach. This, in a young writer, would bespeak a commendable ambition: in a veteran, it indicates a mistaken estimate of his powers'. Jackson p.481. Size: 8vo.…

Contemporary polished tree calf bindings, twin gilt letter labels between four raised bands to the spines, gilt perimeter line to upper and lower boards, marble page edges and end papers. 8vo 9½'' x 6''. Twenty two paper guarded single-sided monochrome illustrations to the beginning of volume I. Pope was a London born poet, satirist, and translator of Homer. Bowles laid down certain canons as to poetic imagery which, subject to some modification, were later accepted, but were received at the time with strong opposition by admirers of Pope and his style. The controversy brought into sharp contrast the opposing views of poetry, which may be roughly described as the artificial and the natural. Bowles maintained that images drawn from nature are poetically finer than those drawn from art; and that in the highest kinds of poetry the themes or passions handled should be of the general or elemental kind, and not the transient manners of any society. The odd mark to the edges of a couple of volumes, light tanning to the paper with sporadic foxing to the end papers, hinges firm and tight, fading of the red Morocco titles labels to the spines, a handsome and scarce set.
