Beschreibung

Two-tone cloth, paper spine-label, 8vo, 21 cm, 271 pp. From a contemporary review: "Three of the best known men of letters of the last century were fervent admirers of Shelley. None of these men was indiscriminate in his admiration; all were laborious level-headed thinkers, accustomed to practical work. William Rossetti spent most of his working life in the position of Assistant Secretary in the Inland Revenue Office. He was. possessed not only of poetic sensibility but of a keen and ironic common sense. Dowden was a hard-working professor of English literature, a poet, and the author not only of the definitive life of Shelley, but of the most sanely enthusiastic and generally acceptable books about Shakespeare that are accessible to the majority of readers. Garnett was a librarian in the British Museum - a man of extraordinary learning who was never in the slightest danger of becoming a pedant, who could find his way through the technical mazes of literary problems without ever losing touch with the real world." Textblock pulled between front free endpaper and half-title, pencil notes on front pastedown endpaper, upper fore-edge corner of front free endpaper torn away, spine rubbed, paper spine-label darkened and chipped.
