About This Item
London: Macmillan and Co., 1919. Leather. Very Good. 7.5" by 5". None. A scarce edition of this collection of the poems of Alfred Lord Tennyson. Bound by Bickers and Son (binder's ink stamp to verso of front free-endpaper). Heavily influenced by his poetic predecessors, in particular John Keats and the romantic poets,Tennyson worked hard to shape his craft. He became a master of the use of metre and demonstrated a richness of imagery that still resonates to this day. Tennyson is perhaps one of Britain's best loved poets, and is still the longest acting poet laureate for Britain, holding the position for forty-two year, right up until his death in 1892. Scarce. In a half-calf binding. Externally, generally smart, though with some rubbing to the extremities and a few marks, including some discolouration to the base of the boards. Many ink signatures to front endpapers. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are quite bright and clean, with just a few scattered spots. Very Good
