Item description from seller

A perfectly serviceable reference copy of the fourth volume of the collected works of Edmund Spenser, known especially for The Faerie Queene, an English epic poem. The first three volumes were first published in 1590, then republished in 1596 together with books IV?VI. There are over 36,000 lines and over 4,000 stanzas in the work in its entirety, one of the longest poems in the English language and provides a template of sorts for chivalric poetry, according to his Wikipedia entry. This volume rebacked quite finely, over six raised bands, with original front and rear panels reincorporated here, sharp gilt lettering to title compartment on spine. Heavy toning of and some light soiling to endpapers, some scattered pen markings, some ink splashes along top edges, dissipating, some chipped pages here and there. [5], 6-312 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.

Store description

Member, I.O.B.A. (the Independent On-line Booksellers Association) "Structure" versus "Agency." A phrase that has characterized much social-scientific debate. Does “structure” (the routinized regulations of kinship and marriage, work and reproduction, of race, class and gender) determine history, or is it the “agency” of fully conscious, independently acting, individuals? Structure, Verses, Agency Books isn’t going to solve the debate, but we’ll offer you lots of all three. Versus to verses—we specialize in fine, rare and collectible books, from the fine arts to the social sciences, from poetry to photography, from literature and ethnography to fine bindings and Americana. Structure, Verses, Agency Books…
