About This Item
This is a first edition of English Romantic Writers, an anthology produced in 1967 by David Perkins, Professor of English and American Literature, Emeritus, at Harvard University.
It is selected works of English Romantic writers, each with a biographical sketch and a critical analysis of his work. It covers the years 1798 to 1832; it begins with William Blake and ends with Thomas Lovell Beddoes. It's mostly poetry and letters, but it also contains essays and some prose.
I attach photos of some of the contents--the table of contents is 20 pages.
It is 1265 pages on superfine paper. It includes a few illustrations.
As you can see, there is a coffee spill to the side of the book--most did not into the book. Some of the liquid did make it inside, but not until page 1125.
There are a couple of scratches to the cover, and shelfwear to the edges.
Otherwise excellent condition.
