Warton's History of English Poetry (Hardcover, annotated edition)

This rare manuscript, together with additional text by Warton, annotated proof pages, and a comprehensive index is being published in a single edition for the first time.
Thomas Warton's influential history provided the first narrative of English poetry from the Norman Conquest to the early seventeenth century. He left the work unfinished at his death in 1790, with the first three volumes completed, but only a part of the fourth volume printed. These volumes include a valuable introduction by David Fairer which charts the origins, progress, sources and significance of this work, using important new information about Warton's life and writings.
