William Gilbert : The Hurricane

Robert Southey to Charles Watkin Williams Wynn, 16 January 1797: 'I wish Bob would insert a review of my writing in the British Critic. it is upon a strange poem with still stranger notes, written by a man of brilliant genius & polishd manners who is deranged. it is easy to imply this without doing it in such terms as would wound his feelings. the book is “the Hurricane a Theosophical & Western Eclogue by William Gilbert.”'

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Robert Southey      Print: Unknown
