Title: History of Spanish and Portuguese Literature by Frederick Bouterwek. In Two Volumes
Description: London , Boosey and Son, 1823. Cloth. A first edition translation of this fascinating work, a first of its kind, concerning the history of a subject of growing interest to the Britain of 1823. Translated from the original German by Thomasina Ross. Complete in two volumes. Friedrich Bouterwek (15 April 1766  9 August 1828), German philosopher and critic. After he had finished his law studies he was appointed to the Hanover Appellate Court, whilst, backed by Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim, he also gave his debut as an author under the pen name Ferdinand Adrianow in the Göttinger Musenalmanach published by Gottfried August Bürger. As a philosopher, he is interesting for his criticism of the theory of the "thing-in-itself". Following this train of thought, Bouterwek left the Kantian position through his opposition to its formalism. His chief critical work was the Geschichte der neuern Poesie und Beredsamkeit (Göttingen, 12 vols. 1801-1819), of which the history of Spanish literature has been published separately in French, Spanish and English.

Generally bright with a few odd browned pages, and scattered foxing throughout. Tidemarks to several pages of volume I. Good . Ill.: None. Good .
