DESCRIPTION
Illustrated profusely throughout with colour plates, vignettes and facsimiles, this exhaustive and detailed set traces the history of literature in this country from its beginnings up until the "age of Tennyson", acting both as a history and as a bibliography, in a rare and seminal collaborative work.
The full titles of works included here are as follows:
Volume I: From the Beginnings to the Age of Henry VIII
Volume II: From the Age of Henry VIII ot the Age of Milton
Volume III: From Milton to Johnson
Volume IV: From the Age of Johnson to the Age of Tennyson
The first three volumes contain a bookplate gifting the books to one H. Ramsden, by the Delph Ladies and Gentlemen's Ambulance Classes.
CONDITION
In cloth binding with gilt detailing. Externally quite smart, there is wear to the joints, boards, extremities and backstrips, with some markings to the boards and significant tenderness to the hinge of the fourth volume. Internally, the pages are generally firmly bound, though there is some tenderness to certain areas, particularly in the last volume, and there are instances of spotting throughout the set.
Overall Condition: Good
