The Tomb of Shakespear. A poetical vision.

London: For R. and J. Dodsley, 1755. Book. to, disbound. Pp. 12. Fore-edge cropped close, otherwise nice cleancopy. First edition. A fanciful reverie, incorporating elements of King Lear, Midsummer Night's Dream and Macbeth, and in the end a tribute to Shakespeare's humane influence. A rare poem, by an adversarial poet and critic, admired and slighted by Johnson. ESTC locates copies at British, Cambridge and Birmingham Libraries in the UK; Folger, Huntington, Princeton and U of I in US..
