Excellent condition with only very minor signs of wear. Some occasional fine markings in text with pencil. Includes: Illustrations / Bibliographical Note / A View of the Present State of Ireland / Commentary / Index etc. Spenser made his name as a poet but made his living as an official in the royal service in Ireland. On his second visit to England in 1596 he compiled the View. He had had some 15 years' experience in various posts but was never in a position to gather such comprehensive knowledge of the various problems of government and the book was probably prompted by senior officers who could supply the facts and wanted the situation stated completely. Its thus useful as a statement of official opinion but it tells us much of the poet his interest in history his love of beautiful country his personal loyalties and the uneven emotional complex bred of contrast of experience. The official of the View was also the poet of the Faerie Queen. Edmund Spenser 1552/1553 13 January 1599 was an English poet best known for The Faerie Queene an epic poem and fantastical allegory celebrating the Tudor dynasty and Elizabeth I. He is recognized as one of the premier craftsmen of nascent Modern English verse and is often considered one of the greatest poets in the English language. Wikipedia William Lindsay Renwick 6 January 1889 to 25 November 1970 was Professor of English Literature at the Durham University from 1921 to 1945 and Regis Professor of Rhetoric and English Literature at University of Edinburgh from 1945-1959. hardcover

1825ref. 12196William Pickering 1825. 5 vols. sm. 8vo. on laid paper dated 1824 with engraved portrait frontispiece 'wreath' titles some very light spotting and dust-soiling to text fore-edges dusty neat and uniform nineteenth century signature on front paste-downs; original brown puce cloth backstrips with original paper labels lettered in black uncut and partially unopened first volume expertly recased third volume with small 'pull' at headband else a very good firm set in minimally restored early cloth binding. THE SET IS COMPLETE WITH ALL HALF-TITLES. It includes Philip Masterman's 'Essay on the Life and Writings of Edmund Spenser' and an extensive glossary. The portrait is engraved by Worthington. The titles carry Pickering's distinctive 'wreath'. 'The books of Pickering's Wreath Series possess in common an exceedingly pleasant format and on their title-pages is his beautiful and individual wreath ornament usually as here with the motto 'Perennis et frgrans'. This ornament served to all intents and purposes as Pickering's 'device' in the books which he published in the years 1825 and 1826' Keynes pp.16-17. The work was an early product of his collaboration with co-publisher Talboys and Wheeler of Oxford. Pickering produced his first commercial cloth binding for his 'Diamond Classics' series of the early 1820s. 'He was afterwards imitated by other publishers but the smooth red magenta puce or dark blue cloth used by Pickering remained for many years the distinguishing mark of his books. The innovation thus quietly made by Pickering in 1820 has had its effect on the whole subsequent history of the publishing trade in England and but for him boards or paper covers for books might now be considered to be just as inevitable in this country as they still appear to be on the continent of Europe' Keynes pp.14-15. A MOST ATTRACTIVE COPY IN SPLENDID MINIMALLY RESTORED BINDING FROM ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF PUBLISHER'S CLOTH. This copy is bound in Pickering's characteristic dark brown 'puce' shade rather than the red cloth seen by Keynes. Keynes p.90 with asterisk denoting 'special merit'. William Pickering, hardcover

"The text of the present edition of Spenser's Works has been prepared by Professor W.L. Renwick. It follows in every case the first editions.The decorations have been designed and engraved on wood by Hilda Quick those in The Shepheardes Calender being based on the cuts in the original editions. The initial letters and the letterings for the title- page and headings have been engraved by her from designs by Joscelyne Gaskin.The eight volumes of Spenser 1930 are equally good-different as the character of the author is but in merita nothing to choose between them. Perhaps the small devices below Spenser's sonnets printed in black and in the vellum copies beautifully laid with gold are the most discreet and opulent form of decoration fitting and in flawless taste" Franklin.
