The Correspondence of Washington Allston
Washington Allston (1779-1843), the first major American artist trained in Europe, produced important paintings, explored sculpture and architecture, and published poetry and art criticism. On his return to America he became influential in the cultural and intellectual life of New England. Allston "knew everyone" and corresponded with many of the leading figures of his day, including Wordsworth, Longfellow, Irving, Sully, and Morse. Nathalia Wright's edition is the most comprehensive work to date on Allston, bringing together all known letters by and to him and describing his principal activities in years for which correspondence is lacking. Allston holds an important place in the history of American culture and European art and has long deserved such a volume, which offers a fascinating view of the world of arts and letters during the early American flowering.

"The Sylphs of the Season with Other Poems" is a collection of poems by Washington Allston, an American painter and poet from the Romantic era. Washington Allston (1779–1843) was associated with the Transcendentalist movement and is known for his contributions to both the visual arts and literature. The collection likely features a variety of poems, and given Allston's interests, you can expect themes related to nature, imagination, and the spiritual. The title poem, "The Sylphs of the Season," might involve mythological or fantastical elements, given the reference to sylphs, which are often depicted as air spirits or nymphs in mythology.
