About the Item
A complete five volume set of the poetical works of Edmund Spenser, in attractive half calf bindings by C. Cross, binder to Queen Victoria.
Complete in five volumes.
In half calf bindings, with the binder's stamp 'C. Cross, Binder to the Queen' to each volume.
Elizabethan poet Edmund Spenser is best known for his epic poem and fantastical allegory 'The Faerie Queene', a work which celebrates the Tudor dynasty and Elizabeth I.
'The Shepheardes Calendar' was Spenser's first major work, it emulates Virgil's 'Eclogues'.
Both of these works are present in this collection, which also includes many of Spenser's minor poems including hymns, 'Colin Clout's Come home Again', and 'Amoretti, or Sonnets'.
Including a memoir of Spenser and also critical dissertations by the Reverend George Gilfillan. George Gilfillan was a spasmodic poet who also edited the works of several British poets.
In half calf signed bindings, with marbled paper covered boards. Externally, excellent, with back strips just a touch age toned, and instances of minor rubbing to back strip heads. Internally, firmly bound. Pages clean and bright.
