Title: The Farmer&Apos;S Boy; a Rural Poem
Description: London, T. Bensley; Vernor and Hood, 1800 . Cloth. The second edition of this poem by Robert Bloomfield with illustrations from the turn of the nineteenth century. The second edition of The Farmer's Boy; A Rural Poem by Robert Bloomfield in the original publisher's cloth backed paper boards. Published at the turn of the nineteenth century, this is a remarkable copy of this work considering its age. Robert Bloomfield was an English working class poet. His work is considered significant due to his background, as he would have been self-educated. Furthermore, a working class person making a career out of art and literature was unlikely at a time when this career choice was usually only attainable for those from upper class backgrounds. The Farmer's Boy was very successful and translated to French, German and Italian and sold in the USA. It was this success which brought Bloomfield out of poverty. With black and white illustrations throughout the text. In the original publisher's cloth backed paper boards. Externally, smart. There is bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. The title label to the spine is slightly worn. The hinges are starting but firm. Internally, generally firmly bound. The pages are bright and clean with some occasional spotting particularly to the first and last few pages. Good . Ill.: Not stated. Good .
