London: John Murray 1817. First Collected Edition in five volumes see below. 171 x 108 mm. 6 3/4 x 4 1/4". Five volumes. First Collected Edition in five volumes see below. VERY ATTRACTIVE CONTEMPORARY DARK BLUE STRAIGHT-GRAIN MOROCCO DECORATED IN GILT AND BLIND covers with thick and thin gilt rule border blind-tooled palmette frame and large blindstamped arabesque centerpiece raised bands spine panels with gilt lyre on top of crossed trumpets gilt titling and turn-ins all edges gilt. With 11 engraved plates illustrating scenes from the poems. Ashley Library IX 46. A hint of foxing to engraved material otherwise only trivial imperfections--AN ATTRACTIVELY BOUND SET IN ESPECIALLY FINE CONDITION the bindings unusually lustrous and the text showing almost no signs of use. This is a finely bound and apparently unread first collected edition of Byron's works published just ten years after his first volume of poetry was printed. It contains the first two cantos of "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage" completed in 1818 and includes what DNB calls "the sequence of remarkable narratives that began with 'The Giaour' and 'The Bride of Abydos' 1813 and culminated with 'Parisina' and 'The Siege of Corinth' 1815. These were the works that defined and perfected the Byronic hero whose initial incarnation was Childe Harold. Brooding throughout nineteenth-century European literature the Byronic figure-usually an aristocrat-embodied a culturally alienated anti-hero bearing within a dark secret that seemed as threatening to others as to himself." In addition to the works mentioned above we find here "The Corsair" "Lara" "Ode to Napoelon Bonaparte" "Hebrew Melodies" and 46 shorter verses. John Murray unknown
