Ballads of Books

This antiquarian volume contains a collection of poetry concerning the form of the book. These poems are devoted to the book itself, rather than to literature more broadly, and celebrate the bric-á-brac of the one - as opposed to the masterpieces of the other. These wonderful poems will greatly appeal to bibliophiles and booklovers, and they would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. The poems of this collection include: “Proem, Ballade of the Bookworm”, “Catullus: To His Book”, “Horace: To His Book”, “Martial: The Stingy Friend”, “Martial: His Book’s Patron”, “Martial: His Bookseller’s Address”, “Martial: Virgil, Cicero”, “Samuel Daniel: Concerning the Honour of Books”, and many more. First published in 1888, this vintage book is being republished now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Poetry

<p>First published in 1893, The Brontës in Ireland provides a rich backstory to the Brontë sisters and their wider family, focussing on the period of time before they moved to Yorkshire in the early 1800s. This detailed biographical account traces the Brontë heritage back to their family roots in County Down, Ireland, unlocking the mysteries of their past through a collection of stories, anecdotes and information passed down through generations.<br />
Thoroughly researched and written by Dr William Wright, an author and missionary who grew up in the same area of Ireland as the Brontë family, The Brontës in Ireland is a charming effort to bridge the gap in the family's history. The book begins in the middle of the 17th century with a five year-old Hugh Brontë, the family's grandfather, and follows his life onwards. Through his efforts, Wright scoured local resources, collecting stories, folklore and information about the family's past while living in Ireland, creating a biography rich with anecdotes from those who knew them.<br />
Including illustrations of the Irish scenery, Wright conjures a beautiful image of the lives of the Brontë family before they began their literary careers. Republished by Read & Co. Books, this fascinating biographical account will capture the mind of any Brontë enthusiast and is a perfect read for those with a passion for their literature. This beautiful edition also includes the poem Thorp Green by Branwell Bronte</p>
