1796réf. 1246441796. London: by S. Gosnell for William Miller 1796. Slim 4to xi 16 pp. With a frontispiece and 2 illustrations headpiece and tailpiece designed by Blake and engraved by Perry. Later full red straight-grain morocco gilt-lettered backstrip a fine copy with a faded inscription on the title-page "Sophia Baillie". § First edition with Blake's illustrations ridiculed in the press upon publication. One of the rarest letterpress books to contain illustrations designed by Blake. Four copies have sold in the last 40 years; two have appeared at auction. The year 1796 saw three translations of Burger's Lenore one by J. T. Stanley one by H. J. Pye the Poet Laureate and a third by W. R. Spencer with designs by Lady Diana Beauclerk. Blake was commissioned to create three illustrations for the Stanley translation including the frontispiece "Lenore clasping her spectral bridegroom" which is famous for supposedly having hung as a separate print in C.G. Jung's office. The British Critic for September 1796 spitefully compared Lady Diana's pictures with those of Blake's: "We are highly impressed by the propriety decorum and grace which characterizes all the figures of this elegant artist Lady Beauclerk even those of a preternatural kind; forming a most striking contrast to the distorted absurd and impossible monsters exhibited in the frontispiece to Mr. Stanley's last edition i.e. Blake's design. Nor can we pass by this opportunity of execrating that detestable taste founded on the depraved fancy of one man of genius which substitutes deformity and extravagance for force and expression and draws men and women without skin with their joints all dislocated; or imaginary beings which neither can nor ought to exist." The Analytical Review chimed in with comments including "perfectly ludicrous instead of terrific." Lenore had a profound effect on the development of Romantic literature throughout Europe7 and a strong influence on the English ballad-writing revival of the 1790s.8 According to German language scholar John George Robertson5 Lenore exerted a more widespread influence than perhaps any other short poem in the literature of the world. . like wildfire this remarkable ballad swept across Europe from Scotland to Poland and Russia from Scandinavia to Italy. The eerie tramp of the ghostly horse which carries Lenore to her doom re-echoed in every literature and to many a young sensitive soul was the revelation of a new world of poetry. No production of the German "Sturm und Drang"-not even Goethe's Werther which appeared a few months later-had such far-reaching effects on other literatures as Bürger's Lenore; it helped materially to call the Romantic movement in Europe to life. In a similar tone English literature scholar Marti Lee claims that:6 "Lenore" had tremendous influence on the literature of the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-centuries and in fact today's popular horror books and movies are still feeling the reverberations. . In short Bürger's achievement while minor in itself helped father an international movement that led directly to the massive popularity of Gothic works then and now. . As the Gothic novel borrowed many of its original conventions from the German ballads as popularized by "Lenore" we can fairly say that Bürger is one of the most influential founding fathers of the Gothic and horror genres.Bentley Blake Books 440.

Nor can we pass by this opportunity of execrating that detestable taste founded on the depraved fancy of one man of genius which substitutes deformity and extravagance for force and expression and draws men and women without skin with their joints all dislocated; or imaginary beings which neither can nor ought to exist." The Analytical Review chimed in with comments including "perfectly ludicrous instead of terrific." According to German language scholar John George Robertson in his "History of German Literature" 1970 "Lenore exerted a more widespread influence than perhaps any other short poem in the literature of the world. . like wildfire this remarkable ballad swept across Europe from Scotland to Poland and Russia from Scandinavia to Italy. The eerie tramp of the ghostly horse which carries Lenore to her doom re-echoed in every literature and to many a young sensitive soul was the revelation of a new world of poetry. No production of the German "Sturm und Drang"-not even Goethe's Werther which appeared a few months later-had such far-reaching effects on other literatures as Bürger's Lenore; it helped materially to call the Romantic movement in Europe to life." It is also seen by some as a foundational book in the literature of vampirism. Bentley BB 440; BBS p. 203 noting that the Nat. Lib. Scotland copy is colored. Easson and Essick WBBI Vol. II XLVI.
