Catalogue 726 English Romantic Poetry 1789 to 1839. [C.C. Kohler, bookseller's catalogue ]

Descripción

Laminated illustrated wrappers, folio, 35 cm, 124 pp, colour plates, ills. 265 items. With a preface by Professor Jonathan Wordsworth. From the introduction: "We have been buying first and collected editions of the major English Romantic poets for fifteen years. We think that this is probably the most important bookseller's catalogue of such material issued in modern times. Here are almost all of the procurable first editions of Byron, Campbell, Clare, Coleridge, Hogg, Leigh Hunt, Keats, Lamb, Moore, Rogers, Scott, Shelley, Southey and Wordsworth for sale at the prices shown opposite. Early collected editions are important and are well represented - see the detailed note overleaf about Byron. Blake is represented by the scarce 1839 first printed edition of Songs of Innocence and of Experience [item 1] and a selection of some of his finest commercial book engravings. We hope that librarians will see this as a unique opportunity to fill gaps, build on strengths and transform "good" holdings into "very good" and "very good" holdings into "outstanding" ! ". Very Good. Laid in is a letter from C.C. Kohler to the bookseller Charles Cox mentioning the sale of most of the items in the catalogue to institions in the USA and Japan, and identifyiong the few titles still available.
