Splendid Misery

Splendid Misery is an English work of fiction by Thomas Surr, first published in London in 1802 for the bookseller T. Hurst and printed by J. Parslee. This edition is part of Gale's Nineteenth Century Collections Online, in its European Literature, 1790-1840 set, which is drawn from the Corvey Collection of more than 9,500 English, French and German titles from the Romantic era.

The Corvey Collection grew out of the library at Castle Corvey, which Victor Amadeus and his wife Elise built up during the second half of the nineteenth century. Its holdings range from novels, Gothic novels and short stories to belles-lettres, dramatic works, poetry and anthologies, and many of its works are scarce or rarely studied. Gale presents the material in full text for scholars and researchers across a range of disciplines.
