The Poetical Works of the Late Thomas Little, Esq.

Thomas Little [Thomas Moore]

Edité par Carpenter and Son, London, 1817

A small calf volume of Thomas Moore's juvenile poetic publication. While the title page does not identify him, this is the work of Irish poet and lyricist Thomas Moore. First published in 1801, the pseudonym 'Thomas Little' may have been due to the juvenile eroticism of these verses. Moore's celebration of kisses and embraces skirted contemporary standards of propriety. When these standards tightened further in the Victorian era, what had until then been a publishing success was put to an end.Bears contemporary inscriptions to front pastedown, 'Henry C. Miles', along with his stamp to head of front free endpaper and title page. Previous owner's inscription to front pastedown also, 'D. L. Cumming'. In the original full calf binding. Marks to front and rear boards, small loss to leather at front board. Cracking to front and rear joints. Rubbing to spine and extremities, with loss in these areas. Inscriptions to front pastedown, both contemporary and more recent. Decorative stamp to head of front free endpaper and title page. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are foxed throughout. Good Only.
