description: Excerpt from Collected Poems, 1800-1822: Facsimile Reproductions, With an IntroductionClare. Robert Southey, with the express purpose of fur thering Bloomfield's career, reviewed the poem warmly. A host of minor literary figures responded by bringing him presentation copies of then works as his popularity grew; thus despite his complaints about time lost, the shoemaker's intellectual and literary interests became more extensive. His letters and the memoranda printed in The Remains (1824) reveal him studying a range of subjects from the activities of the garden spider to the history and construction of aeolian harps. The harps held such fascination for him that he wrote a study of them (1808) and eventually managed a small income selling harps of his own manufacture.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
