Because The Seasons is not readily available and
selling new copies doesn't mean it's not being bought
and read: ABE lists 509 copies of The Seasons for
sale, in dozens of different editions, $3 to $7500.
Perhaps one of the definitions of a neglected classic
might be a poet for whom there is a steady but small
readership that doesn't exhaust the plentiful supply
of nice used copies.
