The Defence of Guenevere and Other Poems.

WILLIAM MORRIS.

Verlag: Bell & Daldy, London, 1858

Beschreibung

First edition of the author's first book, of which 500 copies were printed at the Chiswick Press. 8vo. viii, 248pp. Re-cased with a new backstrip and endpapers, but retaining the original textured cloth boards. With a title page decoration and different decorative headers introducing each poem. A little wear to the corner tips and one or two other extremities, and the cloth a little marked in places. A very good copy of Morris' first book, and the first volume of Pre-Raphaelite poetry to be published (Morris largely self-funded the project, but it was not deemed a successful venture and he waited for nine years before publishing another work). Thirty poems, with a printed dedication to Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Most uncommon. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ARC93556
