1852 BEAUTIFUL Christmas with British Poets English Poetry Foster Illustrated Shakespeare

‘Christmas with the Poets’ is a charming 19th-century collection of English poems and songs for Christmas, spanning from the Norman period, the Reformation, Elizabethan England, and well in to the 19th-century. Notable poets included in this work include William Wordsworth, Robert Southey, William Makepeace Thackeray, Walter Scott, and even Shakespeare!

And while the poems themselves are intriguing, the desire of this book is the impressive illustrations by Myles Foster. Foster’s style provides detailed views of snow-capped trees, pastoral scenes, and decorative borders for the poems.
