Item description from seller

Cloth, 8vo, 134 pp including 71 plates. Approximately 60 entries. From the blurb: "Commonly classed in histories of literature as 'Metaphysicals' because of certain speculative attitudes of mind they shared, [Herbert, Crashaw, Vaughan and Marvell] were men of widely differing outlook and genius. They all wrote secular as well as religious poetry - some of it among the finest in our literature - and all, except Crashaw, published important prose works. This catalogue aims to provide detailed bibliographical descriptions, with title-page reproductions, of every separate edition and issue of the poetry and prose to the end of the 17th century." Arranged in separate chronological listings for each author, with collations, summaries of contents, STC and Wing references and locations of copies. Index of printers and publishers. Near Fine in a used dustwrapper with minor edgewear and a darkened spine-panel.
