Laminated illustrated wrappers, folio, xii, 249 pp, 129 plates. 129 entries. From the blurb: "This major survey uniquely illustrates a large segment of Britain's literary history through the autographs of many of its great writers: from Bede to William Blake, a thousand years of British literary manuscripts in The Pierpont Morgan Library. Reproduced from originals in the Morgan Library's extraordinary collection of autographs are 129 selections from 111 poets, novelists, historians. scholars, clergymen, courtiers - representative samples of rare manuscripts chronicling the development of English literature from Aelfric, Gower and Chaucer to Pope, Sterne and Robert Burns. Prominent in this comprehensive presentation is a page from Book I of Paradise Lost, the manuscript dictated by Milton and used as printer's copy - one of the first autographs to be preserved by contemporaries as valuable in itself, and today one of the most celebrated English literary remains. Equally interesting are the best text of Chaucer's Troïlus, Sidney's sole substantial prose autograph (Defence of the Earl of Leicester), three letters by Dryden. a page of notes by schoolboy Isaac Newton and Burns's Auld Lang Syne. Other remarkable works include letters, poems, signatures and whole manuscripts by John Wyclif, Sir Thomas More, Robert Herrick. Andrew Marvel, John Locke. Jonathan Swift, Henry Fielding, Edward Gibbon, William Blake - a millennium of personal expression by most of the central figures in English literature. This collection is intended for readers of English literature; the commentary covers history and provenance rather than palaeography or textual study. Students and scholars will nonetheless find useful documentation and much valuable information." Minor edgewear otherwise Good.…
