Críticas

I am very pleased with this work, which is an excellent scanned version of Halleck's work, published (in this case) in 1858. This copy comes from University of California at Berkeley. They even went to the bother of scanning in the circulation department, last hand-stamped to be checked out on Sept 23, 1998 (140 years after its publication).

It contains the best known works, and may contain all of them. I was only familiar with a couple, and it's very pleasant to be able to read "The Rhyme of the Ancient Coaster" on paper (it was the first work I encountered, many years ago). It contains the best known, and longest work, "Fanny." I expect to curl up with it, and read pieces I had not yet encountered.

(As a brief side note, I'd been looking for "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and had misspelt "Rime" as "Rhyme" and the Halleck poem came up as a suggestion. Ever one to take the road less traveled, I spent a few hours reading Halleck before returning to Coleridge. Serendipity strikes again.)

Thank you, "Forgotten Books," for rescuing this work.
