Item description from seller

A smart full eight volumes of this collection of poetry from William Wordsworth, a presentation copy. Complete in eight volumes. Presentation copy with blind stamp to the title page. With a portrait frontispiece and title vignette to each volume. A vast collection of the poetical works of William Wordsworth, an English Romantic poet who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped to launch the Romantic Age in English literature with their joint publication Lyrical Ballads. Wordsworth was appointed Poet Laureate in 1843. This collection provides a record of Wordsworth's earliest works from 1798 to 1846 providing an account of the development of his stylistic writing. Containing his magnum opus The Prelude, a semi-autobiographical poem of his early years that he revised and expanded a number of times. This edition also includes poems written by William and his sister Dorothy Wordsworth, an English author, poet, and diarist, between 1787 and 1847 not included in previous collections. Edited by William Knight, a British editor and literary critic. With two pages of the publisher's catalogue to the rear of each volume. In the original full cloth binding. Externally, smart with light rubbing and minor bumping to the extremities. Minor fading to the spines with the odd small mark to the boards. Front hinge starting but firm to volume two. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with minor age toning to the extremities. Age toning to the endpapers with a contemporary ink inscription to the front endpaper. Presentation copy blind stamp to the title page. Some of the text block remains unopened. Very Good.
