Part 2 still has separate title page dated 1612 or 1613 stop-press variants and R3r catchword reads "And". Pagination and register are continuous. The poem was to have been a religious-moral-political allegory in 12 books each consisting of the adventures of a knight representing a particular moral virtue. And was presented to Queen Elizabeth 1 in 1589 probably sponsored by Walter Raleigh. Foundational edition for the study of Spenserian poetry combining his major allegorical and pastoral works. Essential for literary historians scholars of Elizabethan literature. ND Mathew Lownes hardcover

1803réf. 54894London: Printed by and for C. and R. Baldwin 1803. Very good. First edition of this collection celebrating the revival of the sonnet tracing its history from Spenser to Shakespeare and Milton through contemporaries Charlotte Smith Mary Robinson and a young Leigh Hunt. The English sonnet fell out of fashion in the early 18th century only to come roaring back to popularity with the publication of Charlotte Smith's ELEGIAC SONNETS in 1784. But this volume provides a much wider and more nuanced picture of the development of the English sonnet including Smith's predecessor Thomas Edwards and her contemporaries Anna Seward whom Henderson especially likes William Lisle Bowles Helen Maria Williams and Mary Robinson. Henderson's introduction contextualizes the wide range of sonnets included from the amatory Robinson to the elegiac Smith. This compendium established the state of playing field for the form in the Romantic era and it was a favorite form of Coleridge Keats Shelley and Wordsworth. Coleridge wrote a pamphlet celebrating the form in 1796 and the first poem Wordsworth published was "Sonnet on Seeing Miss Helen Maria Williams Weep" in 1787 an homage to Williams and Charlotte Smith both. A notable Romantic-era collection unusual in so widely acknowledging the debts of English poetry to women writers. Contemporary half roan marbled paper boards gilt-ruled and -lettered spine. Red speckled edges. Illustrated with engraved frontispiece and two further full-page engravings by T.W. Tomkins after P. Henderson. xl 192 pages. Some pencil notes to endpapers. Binding rubbed at extremities some foxing largely marginal to first few gatherings. Printed by and for C. and R. Baldwin unknown

Zaehnsdorf exhibition stamp in gilt on rear doublure. Original pink printed wrappers bound in. Spines uniformly faded otherwise a fine set. "The most important work in the whole long list of books illustrated by Walter Crane. If Crane's claim to greatness were based entirely on this work he would still retain his position in the front rank of nineteenth-century artists. The wealth of ideas and forms real and fantastic which are embodied in the actual illustrations and even more in the marvellous decorative border designs is almost incredible! Besides the numberless presentments of the human figure in all its manly vigour and womanly grace the whole range of nature's forms of animal and plant life of fabulous mythological inventions of allegorical personifications are worked into decorative designs of exquisite beauty. It would be petty nay foolish to try to find fault with certain very obvious shortcomings as regards anatomical drawing in a work which does not only stand unique as pure decoration but speaks of an amount of knowledge and a wealth of imagination that command unrestricted admiration and respect" Konody p. 71.

réf. 06420London: Scott Webster and Geary 1842. A Handsome Pall Mall Prize Binding: Spenser in Full Green Morocco with Institutional Supralibros and Country-House Provenance SPENSER Edmund. The Poetical Works of Edmund Spenser. In five volumes. A new edition; with introductory and glossarial notes: to which is prefixed the account of the author's life and criticism of his works by John Aikin M.D. London: Scott Webster and Geary 1842. Five small octavo volumes 7 5/8 x 4 5/8 inches; 194 x 118 mm. Handsomely bound ca. 1842 in full green straight-grain morocco by White of 24 Pall Mall London with their printed binder's stamp on the front pastedown. Covers elaborately tooled in gilt with a wide fillet border and centrally stamped with the gilt supralibros of Downing's Academy incorporating an oval device enclosing an open book and the motto Domine illuminatio mea. Spines with five raised bands richly gilt in compartments with repeating floral and foliate tools red morocco lettering labels and volume numbers lettered in gilt. Board edges and turn-ins finely tooled marbled endpapers all edges gilt. A very attractive and well-preserved set the bindings bright and fresh with only minimal wear the gilt crisp and luminous. Provenance: Bound as a mid-nineteenth-century institutional or prize binding for Downing's Academy as evidenced by the gilt supralibros on each cover. Later in the library of William Carr 1862-1925 of Ditchingham Hall Norfolk historian and collector with his engraved armorial bookplate Ad sidera tollite vultus on the front pastedowns. With a later penciled bookseller's or shelf mark. This elegant five-volume Spenser represents the high standard of West End binding in the 1840s produced by the Pall Mall binder White whose work - while less frequently encountered than that of Zaehnsdorf or Bedford - embodies the same careful craftsmanship and decorative restraint characteristic of the period's best trade bindings. The use of straight-grain morocco combined with dense gilt ornament and repeating floral tools reflects the mid-Victorian taste for richly textured yet orderly decoration while the bold red labels provide a striking chromatic contrast against the deep green leather. Particularly appealing is the presence of the institutional supralibros indicating that the set was likely issued as a presentation or prize binding-a form of book production that often resulted in bindings of a higher-than-usual quality. Such volumes were intended to convey both scholarly merit and aesthetic distinction and frequently entered private libraries of substance as here. The later ownership of William Carr of Ditchingham Hall adds a further layer of interest situating the set within the tradition of nineteenth-century English country-house collecting where finely bound editions of canonical authors such as Spenser formed an essential component of the cultivated gentleman's library.
