Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The Batsford Book of Romantic Poetry Edited by Samuel Carr London: B.T. Batsford Ltd., 1982. First edition. Hardcover, original brick-red cloth with gilt lettering to the spine. Dust jacket present. 124 pages (including preliminaries and indexes), with 4 colour plates and numerous black-and-white illustrations throughout. Illustrated endpapers. 8vo (approximately 23 × 14 cm / 9 × 5½ inches). ISBN 0 7134 3903 3 / 9780713439038. Includes indexes of poets and artists. This handsomely produced Batsford anthology brings together poems of the Romantic period with the paintings and drawings that so often shared the same subjects and sensibility. The double aim, set out in the introduction, is both to give pleasure through the juxtaposition of memorable (and sometimes unfamiliar) verse and pictures, and to show how closely the poets and painters of the age responded to the same themes: night and nightmare, storm-lashed coasts, ruined abbeys, moonlight, the Lakes, the Alps, and the Italian landscape. Wordsworth's Tintern Abbey appears alongside views by Turner, Girtin and Crome; Shelley's The Cloud is paired with Constable; Byron and de Loutherbourg share stormy coastal scenes; Erasmus Darwin and Henry Fuseli are both preoccupied by the night-mare; and the Lakes, Alps and Italy recur throughout. The colour plates include works after William Blake (Thus wept the Angel voice… from America), Francis Towne (The Source of the Arveiron), John Constable (Stonehenge), and J.M.W. Turner (The Devil's Bridge, St Gothard — a detail of which also forms the striking jacket illustration, supplied by Thomas Agnew & Sons). Black-and-white reproductions throughout feature further works by Joseph Wright of Derby, James Ward, Henry Fuseli, John Crome, John Constable, George Barret Jnr, Thomas Girtin, J.C. Buckler, Edward Burney, John Martin, Samuel Palmer, and others. Front and back endpapers reproduce watercolours and paintings by J.S. Cotman and P.J. de Loutherbourg respectively. About the editor Samuel Carr (1913-) was a successful and prolific British editor of illustrated poetry anthologies, almost all published by Batsford. His other titles include The Poetry of Cats (1974), Birds, Beasts and Fishes, The Poetry of Childhood, The Poetry of Birds, The Poetry of Horses, The Poetry of Railways, Hymns as Poetry (with a preface by John Betjeman), The Batsford Book of Country Verse, and later volumes such as Ode to the Countryside and Ode to Flowers. He specialised in carefully chosen thematic collections that paired verse with fine reproductions of related art, producing attractive, accessible books that remain popular with collectors of both poetry and illustrated volumes.
