Thomas Gray
Thomas Gray (1716 – 1771) was an English poet, letter-writer, classical scholar, and fellow at Pembroke College, Cambridge. He is widely known for his Elegy Written In a Country Churchyard, published in 1751.
Gray was a self-critical writer who published only 13 poems in his lifetime, despite being very popular. He was even offered the position of Poet Laureate in 1757 after the death of Colley Cibber, though he declined.

About Regency Books 1811
The Rambler Press was founded in the summer of 2013 and was conceived from love for English culture, history, and countryside as well as handmade paper and Caslon type. Our main purpose is to capture the beauty of 18th-century books, the finest period of English typography: bygone historical ligatures, long s, ornaments, what once created an exceptional piece of printing, sometimes called – without any exaggeration – "fine printing".
