8vo, pp. xlii, [iv], 224, 235-318, [1] errata; complete despite the error in pagination; rebound in modern boards, cloth spine, retaining old (early or mid-19th c) label. First and only edition of this translation of the Edda by Amos Simon Cottle, elder brother of the more famous Joseph Cottle, friend and publisher of Coleridge, Wordsworth and Southey. The translation was probably made from a Latin rendering, rather than the original, and was originally made in prose; on Southey's recommendation, Cottle then turned it into verse, but as poetry the work was not well received, and was harshly denigrated by William Herbert in his translation of 1804-6. Cottle died young in London, only three years later. This book is in fact probably most celebrated for the long prefatory poem, 'To A.S. Cottle, from Robert Southey', which is on pp. xxxi-xlii. Written in blank verse, it is an eloquent example of the new romantic poetry being championed by Southey's circle. More than this, it includes a notable tribute to Mary Wollstonecraft, which must have been written within a few weeks of her death: Cottle's preface is dated 1 November 1797, and Wollstonecraft had died on 10 September. Southey fifteen years her junior had admired Wollstonecraft from afar, and addressed her in a sonnet published in his Poems of early this same year. He certainly met her in May, when he and Edith came to dinner at Godwin's house, but they cannot have met on many other occasions, as he spent the summer of that year in the country, only returning after her death. In this poem he gives her the highest praise, as one Who among women left no equal mind When from this world she pass'd; and I could weep, To think that She is to the grave gone down. …
