About This Item
London: Humphrey Milford, 1914. Leather. Very Good Indeed. 7.5" by 5". None. An attractively bound collection of the poems of Robert Bridges. Containing Demeter, Prometheus the Firegiver, and Eros and Psyche, amongst others. As a poet Bridges stands rather apart from the current of modern English verse, but his work has had great influence in a select circle, by its restraint, purity, precision, and delicacy yet strength of expression. It embodies a distinct theory of prosody. Bridge's faith underpinned much of his work. With photographic monochrome frontispiece of the author. In a half-calf binding. Externally smart, with some light wear to the spine and a couple of marks to the boards only. Internally, firmly bound. Prize bookplate to front free-endpaper. Pages are mainly bright and clean, with just some scattered spotting to the front free-endpapers. Very Good Indeed
