Sobre este artículo
Cambridge: John Owen, 1841. Fifth edition. 12mo (17cm). In publisher's binding of gilt-decorated red-brown morocco with gilt urn devices to both covers; gilt dentelles; yellow coated endpapers; aeg. Slight rubbing to front joint; bit of flaking to gilt on front cover; mild oxidation to endpapers, still a very sound and clean copy, Very Good or better. Faint early gift inscription in ink ("To Miss J. Hillhouse from Wm. Prichard") to front free endpaper. An unnoted and quite pretty American trade binding. BAL 12279, noting only copies in boards for this and for the 1839 first edition. This edition not in Wilson (Thirteen Author Collections) or Howe Library. The printing was presumably small, as only nine OCLC institutions have catalogued copies of the fifth edition.
Sinopsis
Longfellow began publishing his poetry in 1839, including the collection Voices of the Night, his debut book of poetry. The bulk of Voices of the Night was translations, though he also included nine original poems and seven poems that he had written as a teenager. Ballads and Other Poems was published in 1841 and included "The Village Blacksmith" and "The Wreck of the Hesperus", which were instantly popular.
