Book excerpt: Odes on several descriptive and allegoric subject By william collins The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Collins was born on 25 December 1721 in Chichester, Sussex. William was educated at Winchester and Magdalen College Oxford and whilst there in 1742 published the Persian Ecologues. After graduating in 1743 and unable to obtain a fellowship he decided on a literary career. In 1747 he published his collection of Odes on Several Descriptive and Allegorical Subjects on which his subsequent reputation was to rest. These poems are laced with strong emotive descriptions and a personal relationship to the subject allowed by the ode form. At the time they gained little notice which was dominated by the Augustan Poets. Depressed by this lack of success he began to sink further into the abyss and this decline was further fuelled by the influence of alcohol. By 1754 he had sunk into insanity and was confined to McDonald's Madhouse in Chelsea. From there he moved to the care of a married elder sister in Chichester until his death on June 12th 1759. He was buried in St Andrew's Church. Following his death, his poems were issued in a collected edition by John Langhorne (1765) and slowly gained more recognition, although never without criticism. Now he is very highly regarded and ranked only behind Alexander Pope and Thomas Gray in the pantheon of 18th Century Poets. His lyrical odes mark a turn away from the Augustan poetry of Pope's generation and towards the Romantic era of Wordsworth, Keats and Shelley which would soon follow.
