Item description from seller

"One of the first writers, still in the 18th century to grasp the mystery of Shakespeare's imagery was the little known Walter Whiter." He observes for the first time that images may be related to one another by association, a subterranean continuation of the same idea, which may then produce a sequence of imagery long after the original image has been forgotten. This is a brilliant bit of writing. The book is lacking the fly leaf, it has the half title, tp. Collates complete - 258 pp + errata leaf. Disbound, but a full untrimmed copy. Suitable for binding. Uncommon, but reprinted in the 20th century. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
