Edmund Spenser burned to create an English equivalent to Virgil’s Aeneid. Instead of lauding the Caesars he would glorify Elizabeth the Virgin Queen. Where Virgil connected Rome to the heroic past of Troy Spenser would forge a link between Tudor England and the mythological age of King Arthur. The result was The Faerie Queene a rich allegory which elevated Protestant virtues through the medium of a romantic chivalric epic. Today the power of Spenser’s story and the beauty of his verse still live in ‘famous memory’. London, The Folio Society, 2011 Limited Numbered Edition 114/1000. hardcover

William Pickering 1796-1854 was an English publisher notable for introducing cloth binding to British publishing. Pickering began working as an antiquarian bookseller before 1820 and quickly moved into publishing. In 1819 he began publishing a series of Diamond Classics- small books set in tiny type that were offered in a uniform binding of cloth or leather at an affordable price of 6 shillings. These are probably the first publishers' bindings in cloth- an innovation which had a rapid and profound impact on the publishing industry. He specialised in scholarly editions of classic authors.
