02 - London - T. Bensley, 1800 Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First edition. An illustratedcollection of Bloomfield's poetry, in a fine binding. The Farmer's Boy is a second edition and Rural Tales is a first edition. The Farmer's Boy features an engraved portrait frontispiece. Contains numerous vignettes. Robert Bloomfield (December 3 1766 August 19 1823) was an English labouring class poet. 'The Farmer's Boy' was the poem which made Bloomfield's reputation. The manuscript was declined by several publishers and was eventually shown by his brother George to Capel Lofft, a radical Suffolk squire of literary tastes, who arranged for its publication with woodcuts by Thomas Bewick in 1800. The success of the poem was remarkable, over 25,000 copies being sold in the next two years. The poem was particularly admired by the Suffolk-born painter John Constable who used couplets from it as tags to two paintings. Bloomfield's reputation was increased by the appearance of his Rural Tales (1802), several poems of which were set to music by his brother Isaac. Another of them, 'The Miller's Maid', was made intoan opera by John Davy (17631824) in 1804 and formed the basis for a two-act melodrama by John Faucit Saville (18071855) in 1821. Condition: In a half calf binding with marbled boards. Externally, excellent with just minor shelfwear only. Internally, firmly bound.
