	[minstrels] On His Seventy-fifth Birthday -- Walter Savage Landor
		Landor has written a number of short, epigrammatic poems, of which this is my favourite - for some other nice examples see I don't care too much for his longer poems, though - they lack the concentrated beauty of the short ones, and tend to lose me early on.
		Of writers who might be called surviving classicists, the most notable is Walter Savage Landor, whose detached, lapidary style is seen at its best in some brief lyrics and in a series of erudite Imaginary Conversations, which began to appear in 1824.
		From: "Ryan" Landor has defenitely set a benchmark in modern philosphy.

		In Landor's Tower as in previous novels such as White Chappell Scarlet Tracings, Downriver, and Radon Daughters, discrete narratives begin on parallel tracks and, contrary to all our assumptions, converge.
		Here, the story of Walter Savage Landor's return to Wales is interleaved with Sinclair's failure to write a book about Landor and with two booksellers' doomed pursuit of rare editions.
		One hopes that Landor's Tower, along with Granta's reissue of new editions of White Chappell Scarlet Tracings, Radon Daughters, Lud Heat, and Rodinsky's Room, may bring Sinclair to the attention of U.S. readers.

	The Norton Anthology of English Literature: The Romantic Age: Topic 4: Texts and Contexts
		Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864) maintains his place in the Norton Anthology of English Literature as an exquisite classicist lyric poet, "master of the spare, elegant, and severely formal utterance of lyric feeling" (NAEL 2:492).
		Landor's main source for this poem was The History of Charoba, Queen of Ægypt, included in Clara Reeve's The Progress of Romance (1785), which his friend Rose Aylmer had borrowed from a circulating library.
		Comparison with the earlier text corresponding to the material of Landor's Seventh Book, which is also given in this Web site, shows drastic changes by Landor in the characters of both Gebir and Charoba, as well as in thematic focus and the manner in which the events are presented.
