About this Item
A seven volume, complete set of The Poetical Works of John Milton, in very attractive and ornate calf binding. Containing both Milton's better and lesser-known works, as well as extensive indexes and biography, this handsome set is further embellished here by engraved plates illustrating the author's life and work, including depictions of Milton composing his seminal Paradise Lost, as well as engravings inspired by the work itself. In addition to this, there is comprehensive criticism provided by such luminaries as Samuel Johnson, Joseph Addison and John Dryden, adding further creedence to Milton's reputation as one of the finest poets Great Britain and, indeed, the world, has every produced. One of the definitive Nineteenth Century editions. In decorative calf binding with gilt detailing. Externally smart, there is minor wear to the extremities and joints, with some occasional minor cracking and strain to hinges, with some partially detached endpages to the fifth volume. Internally, the pages are firmly bound and are generally bright and clean throughout, although somewhat age-toned, with some occasional spotting, and more significant foxing to the second volume. Very Good Indeed. Seller Inventory # SET41-H-1
