Item description from seller

A collection of poetry from Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott, with six works bound into two volumes. Six works bound in two volumes. With two engraved title pages to volume one and three engraved title pages to volume two. Written by Sir Walter Scott, a Scottish historian, poet, playwright, and novelist whose works remain classics of European literature. Between 1805 and 1817 Scott produced five long, six-canto narrative poems, four shorter independently published poems, and many small metrical pieces. Scott was by far the most popular poet of the time until Lord Byron published the first two cantos of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage in 1812. In 1813 Scott was offered the position of Poet Laureate. He declined, feeling that "such an appointment would be a poisoned chalice." This set contains: Volume one - The Lay of the Last Minstrel, Marmion, and Harold the Dauntless. Volume two - Rokeby, The Bridal of Triermain, and The Lord of the Isles. Bound in half calf with marbled boards. Externally, sound with rubbing to the extremities and fading to the spine. Light loss to the spine labels with marks to the boards. Hinges just starting but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot and minor age toning to the endpapers. Good. …
