The case of the notorious 18thC scholar-murderer 'took all Europe by storm' [Sutherland] when it was novelised by Bulwer Lytton in 1832. Despite a defence of 'extraordinary ability' [it is reprinted here], Eugene Aram was executed for murder. His language studies - Chaldee, Hebrew, Arabic, and Celtic - were of great but unnoticed importance and, things being other than they were, he 'might have advanced the study of comparative philology by fifty years' [DNB]. This is the First Separate Edition of Hood's poem : originally published in The Gem. This copy with striking horned-Bacchus or Satyr bookplate [c.1910] of Percival Hinton : and another neat little modern booklabel. **** To confirm availability before ordering, please click the link Ask Bookseller A Question.
