Landor, Walter Savage: Poetry. V2. 19 March 2014
Second Delivery of Landor's Poetry. Completeness is impossible, but this should cover the essentials now.
Walter Savage Landor (30 January 1775 – 17 September 1864) was an English writer and poet. His best known works were the prose Imaginary Conversations, and the poem Rose Aylmer, but the critical acclaim he received from contemporary poets and reviewers was not matched by public popularity. As remarkable as his work was, it was equalled by his rumbustious character and lively temperament. (Wikipedia) A good biographical article can be found at Poetry Foundation. Contents of this edition:
A complete alphabetical index is included. OCRed and proofread from Google scans at the Internet Archive: Gebir - Count Julian, Works 1846, Last Fruit, Dry Sticks, Hellenics. In spite of thorough proofreading, errors are unavoidable. Please contact me about any you may find. Changes in V2, 19 March 2014:

Thanks so much for making Landor's work available in an epub edition, Peter! Derbies off to the most classically restrained of all English hotheads from the romantic period; to the Brahms of the Lake. I can't he'p but think Ezra Pound must have been a fan.
Just opened the book and glanced at it briefly; looking forward to ogling it in greater detail. Last edited by Prestidigitweeze; 03-05-2014 at 04:16 PM. |

Thanks for the ultra-care, DS. I'll fondle your latest with my lobes at some point this weekend, but I'm downloading it now.

Thanks for your thanks, guys.
After I had uploaded the book yesterday, I was determined to take a break from Landor. So what did I do? Went to archive.org, downloaded the hi-res image files of the scans of the five volumes of the 1882 complete edition of the Imaginary Conversations, ran them through ABBYY and, excited by the very good results, started to clean up the output. That bloke sucks you in... |
