"Of the early estimates of Byron that are primarily critical rather than 
biographical, the most thoughtful is the series of Letters on the 
character and poetical genius of Lord Byron, by Sir Samuel Egerton 
Brydges. In this book the general discussions of poetical principles, of 
imagination, fancy, invention, judgment, and so forth suggest that 
Brydges had studied the Biographia Litteraria and Wordsworth's Preface 
of 1815 with care" (Chew, BYRON IN ENGLAND, pages 215-216). (#014539)    
     $175.00
