Robert Hamerling (March 24, 1830 – July 13, 1889) is characterized by the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica as one of the most remarkable poets of the modern Austrian school. The encyclopedia describes his imagination as rich and his poems as full of life and colour. What it terms his most popular poem, Ahasver in Rom (1866), of which the emperor Nero is the central figure, is said to show at its best what is alleged to be the author's brilliant talent for description. Among his other works, 1911 Britannica mentions Venus im Exil (1858); Der König von Sion (1869), characterized as a generally recognized masterpiece; Die sieben Todsünden (1872) Blätter im Winde (1887); Homunculus (1888); Amor und Psyche (1882).. Long cuts to hinges but binding is still intact, old protective tape on spine, corners lightly bumped and opened at corners, former book seller sticker to flyleaf, following page (half title?) cut out in part, a name with pen to the remaining part of page, internal binding sound, sporadic light foxing to a couple of pages, good.
