Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey, bookplate.Matthew Lewis (1750-1812), chief clerk and deputy secretary at the War Office, owner of a slave plantation in Jamaica - Cornwall and Hordley estates in Westmoreland - and father of the author of the present work, Matthew Gregory Lewis (1775-1818). Lewis senior married Frances Maria Sewell with whom he had four children, but the marriage broke down amongst considerable scandal in 1781, when Frances Sewell deserted her husband for a music instructor named Harrison with whom she birthed an illegitimate child in 1782.Conceived in 1798, Tales of Wonder, a collection of 60 ballads with a supernatural theme, was eventually published in 1801. It had been delayed to such an extent that in 1799 one of its contributors, a young writer by the name of Walter Scott, published out of frustration a short work entitled An Apology for The Tales of Terror, referring to the present work by its unused working title. Confusingly, another very similar work, a volume of macabre poems using the title Tales of Terror, was also published in 1801. As well as original contributions by Lewis, Tales of Wonder contains three original poems by Sir Walter Scott; 'The Fire-King', 'Glenfinlas, or Lord Ronald's Coronach' and 'The Eve of St. John'. There are also two translations by Scott from the German, 'Frederick and Alice' and 'The Wild Huntsman'. Robert Southey contributes seven poems; 'The Old Woman of Berkeley', 'Bishop Bruno', 'Lord William', 'The Painter of Florence', 'Donica', 'Cornelius Agrippa's Bloody Book' and 'Rudiger'. There are also contributions by Robert Burns ('Tam O'Shanter'), John Dryden, Ben Jonson, and George Colman the Younger.
