First Edition
First edition, first printing. Original red cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents, with faint offsetting and a previous owner's signature and date to the front free endpaper are otherwise clean and bright throughout. Complete with the very lightly rubbed dustwrapper that is a touch toned at the spine. Not price-clipped (21s on the front flap). C. S. Lewis gave a course of undergraduate lectures on Edmund Spenser at Cambridge University which he intended to turn into a book, though this remained unrealised at his death. Here Alastair Fowler has collected and edited Lewis's lectures and notes to construct a cohesive piece of literary criticism. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.

First Edition
First edition of Lewis' longest piece of literary criticism, posthumously compiled by Alastair Fowler. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. Jacket design by Will Carter. Spenser was C.S. Lewis' favorite author, but though he referred to The Faire Queene constantly in his criticism he never devoted a whole book to it. He gave a popular course of undergraduate lectures on Spenser at Cambridge, meaning to turn them into a book. At his death, only notes for this survived, and with great skill, Dr. Alastair Fowler has reconstructed them into the present piece of literary criticism.
