The Complete Works, Poetry and Prose, of the Rev. Edward Young. To Which Is Prefixed, Life of the Author, by John Doran. Volume 1

This English poet is most famous for his Night Thoughts on Life, Death and Immortality, also known as The Complaint. In this long poem, the author explores various theological issues, applied both to his own life and to humanity in general. Young is considered to have initiated the so-called "Graveyard School" with this work, laying groundwork for romanticism's introspective tones. Young's other works include plays, satires, and the famous essay Conjectures on Original Composition.
