About This Item
Hardcover. Fine. Illustrated with engraved vignette on title page. 4to. Modern half-leather-backed marbled boards. London: Printed for R. Dodsley at Tullys Head in Pall-Mall . . . 1745. First Edition. Unlike his Pleasures of the Imagination, but very much like his Whiggish politics, Akensides Odes met with a dismissive reception from Samuel Johnson in his Lives of the Poets. Posterity, though, has been notably kinder, and both Wordsworth and Coleridge acknowledged the influence that Akensides Odes had upon the development of their own poetry. A fine copy with wide margins.
