‎The Works‎

‎Hardback. Good. Set of Byron's works in ten volumes 8vo based on the initial six-volume set published by John Murray in 1825 augmented by the two volumes published in 1824-1825 by John and Henry L Hunt and thereby identified on the title pages as "The Works . in eight volumes" and further augmented by two further volumes these last shown as "Printed for the booksellers" and consisting of cantos I-XVI of Don Juan; the final canto canto XVII was a short unfinished piece at Byron's death in 1824 and was essentially a repudiation of the views of his critics. Pagination: 8vo pp I - xi 303; II - iii 359; III - iii 345 347; IV - viii 367; V - iii 404; VI - viii i 319; VII - vi 8-308 309; VIII - i 286; IX - iii 353; X - iii 398. Engraved frontispiece of Byron after the Phillips portrait of him in conventional Western dress. Uniformly bound in tan polished calf the spines with raised bands and gilt labels. The spines of vols III and IV and the foot of the spine of vol X have suffered from some unknown but clearly incompetent attention whereby the leather has turned a very dark brown almost black in contrast to the rich dark chestnut colour of the other volumes see the accompanying photograph for more detail. There is some light foxing more prevalent on several pages in volumes VII and VIII and with some page browning in volumes IX and X and a couple of the hinges on vols III and IV are cracked along the outside although without affecting the firmness of the binding again see the relevant image. There's some evidence here and there both on the outside and in the early gutters of old water staining but that's hardly obtrusive. Essentially it's an attractively printed set well bound for private library use and marred only by the points raised above. It's not uncommon for earlier sets of works such as these to expand from an earlier planned collection as has happened here. The two Hunt volumes VII and VIII appear to be the sheets originally published as a two-volume set; they contain Werner Heaven and Earth Morgante Maggiore The Age of Bronze The Island The Vision of Judgement and The Deformed Transformed and appear here with an added title page identifying the volumes as part of now an eight-volume set of Byron's Works. The final two volumes are identified in similar style as part of the Works of Byron and as volumes IX and X but without identifying the number of volumes in the set. This may have been on account of prudence given that the satirical poem aroused a great deal of hostility on account of its "immoral content" and its criticism of contemporary literary heroes although such as Sir Walter Scott Swinburne Shelley Goethe and others thought highly of the work as it steadily appeared between 1819 and 1824. Despite the faults mentioned earlier this is a handsome set containing nearly all Byron's works. NOTE: as the complete set weighs some 6.6kg there will be a supplement needed for carriage depending on final location and method used. <br/> <br/> hardcover‎

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

The "year without a summer" saw the Geneva Circle including Byron the Shelleys and John William Polidori entertain themselves telling German ghost stories while the unrelenting rain fell that June. In August Monk Lewis visited and translated passages from Faust. Here the ghost story competition was proposed: from it followed Frankenstein The Vampyre and Manfred. Byron was delighted with Goethe's review of Manfred written in 1817. "This singular intellectual poet has taken my Faustus to himself." </i></p> John Murray hardcover‎
