1778rif. 153521778 Fairy Queen Edmund Spenser Poetry Faerie Queene Vellum 8v SET w/ Provenance "For there is nothing lost that may be found if sought." ― Edmund Spenser The Faerie Queene Edmund Spenser is one of the most well-known 16th-century English poets. His most-famous poem 'The Faerie Queene' is one of fantasy and allegory that celebrated the Tudors and Queen Elizabeth. Spenser explores human emotion consciousness and conflict and drew much of his influence from Italian greats Ariosto and Tasso. He embodied Elizabethan values and British history but he also wanted to have literary freedom balancing history and myth. Samuel Johnson was well-versed with 'The Faerie Queene' as it was a 'useful source for obsolete and archaic words' as he was organizing his 'Dictionary'. This 1787 edition of the poetical works of Spenser was published as part of John Bell's edition of 'The Poets of Great Britain.' This set featured 'The Faerie Queene' as well as a fine biographical sketch of Spenser himself. Item number: #15352 Price: $750 SPENSER Edmund The poetical works of Edmund Spenser .

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.
