Description
The Poetical Works of Thomas Moore, Irish Melodies. The Poetical Works of Thomas Moore reprinted from early editions with explanatory notes, and published by Belford, Clarke & Company in Chicago and New York. Thomas Moore (1779–1852) was an Irish poet, singer, and songwriter from the Romantic era, known for his lyrical and melodious style. The volume collects the poetry of Thomas Moore, including his "Irish Melodies" (featuring pieces such as "The Last Rose of Summer" and "Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms") and the narrative poem "Lalla Rookh". Belford, Clarke & Company was a late 19th-century publisher of collected works and popular editions of classic literature. Significance: Moore's works, especially his "Irish Melodies," helped establish his fame as "Ireland's Bard" and are important in Irish literary history. I could not find a copyright and the gold edges are still visible.
