London/Lewisburg: Bucknell University Press/Associated University Presses, (1976).

First edition, first printing.

Nelson examines Crabbe, the last Augustan, and looks at his literary problem, including the shift from the doctrine of imitation to expression, the collapse of the genre system and rejection of verse satire, and the consequences these changes held for Crabbe's work as a poet.

A touch of fading to the upper shelf-edge, else fine and tight in blue linen with gilt embossed titles to the spine; in a fine dust jacket; original printed £5.00 price still intact to the front inner flap.

Octavo; 189 pages; notes; select bibliography; index.
