About this Item

Laminated illustrated wrappers, 8vo, 24 cm, 136 pp, 2 plates, ills, facs. 1401 entries. Includes an introduction by Donald H. Reiman. From Chris Kohler's introductory note - " This magnificent collection of British Poetry of the Romantic Period from 1789 to 1839 covers the years that saw the foundation of modern literature. The richness of the collection is in the background poetry that ranges from early influences on the major Romantics to the lesser poets whose style derived from the Romantics during the 1820's and 1830's. A university or national library that has already collected primary editions of the major writers of the Romantic period should find this collection irresistible. For the breadth of secondary and background material represented here would elevate such a selection of high-spot rare books into a major centre for original literary, biographical and bibliographical study. We have been working on this collection for almost ten years. We consider it unlikely that another such collection of British Poetry of the Romantic period will ever be offered for sale again."
