Swinburne and William Morris", p. ix), and the ways he has been read and misread by some of his contemporaries. Gallup, Pound, A30a; Eliot, B10a. Octavo. Original green cloth, top edge green, fore and bottom edges untrimmed. With dust jacket. Housed in a custom quarter vellum folding box. Bookseller's ticket to front pastedown.
