Harry Buxton Forman

    Henry Buxton Forman war ein Bibliograf und Antiquar aus dem viktorianischen Zeitalter, dessen literarischer Ruf auf seinen Bibliografien bedeutender Dichter beruht. Sein Name ist jedoch untrennbar mit der Aufdeckung einer groß angelegten Fälschung von Erstausgaben verbunden. Diese Enthüllungen warfen einen Schatten auf seine früheren wissenschaftlichen Bemühungen und erschwerten seine Stellung in der Literaturgeschichte. Formans Werk dient somit als warnendes Beispiel für die Fragilität des Buchmarktes und die Bedeutung der Provenienz.

    The Poetical Works of John Keats
    • This book is the complete poetical works of John Keats. John Keats (1795-1821) was an English poet. He was one of the most celebrated second-generation Romantic poets together with Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron, despite the fact that he only produced poetry for four years. This fantastic collection would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf, and constitutes a must-have for serious lovers of poetry. Contents include: "The Life of Keats", "Endymion: A Poetic Romance", "Lamia", "Isabella", "The Eve of St. Agnes", "Hyperion", "Specimen of an Induction to a Poem", "Caldore: A Fragment", "To Hope", "Imitation of Spenser", "Ode to a Nightingale", "Ode to a Grecian Urn", "Ode to Psyche", "Odes on Melancholy", etc. Many classic books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
