Description

A three-volume early 19th century set of The Life and Letters of William Cowper, written by William Hayley and published in London in 1824.

This work presents a detailed account of the life, correspondence, and literary contributions of William Cowper, one of the most influential English poets of the late 18th century.

The set is uniformly bound in full leather with richly gilt-decorated spines, featuring raised bands and intricate tooling typical of the period.

Issued as a “New Edition” in three volumes, the work also includes commentary on epistolary writing, reflecting the literary and cultural importance of correspondence during the era.

A handsome and cohesive set with strong decorative appeal, ideal for collectors of English literature, biography, or antique bindings, as well as for display in a traditional library setting.

Care instructions:
Handle with clean, dry hands and avoid opening the volumes flat to protect the bindings. Store upright in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and humidity. Dust gently with a soft cloth and avoid the use of cleaning products or leather treatments.
