Published in 1831 by a young Edinburgh poet who later became famous as an angling writer, this extravagant Romantic poem tells of a love that will not yield to death, in three cantos called chimeras, full of tombs, wild seas and storm. Andrew Lang’s introduction and dedicatory verse revive a book that had become extremely rare.

A curiosity of late Romantic verse for collectors of the gothic. Download the free EPUB.
