About this Item

Revised and Expanded Third Edition (1960). No markings, annotations, or inscriptions. Minor ageing to the front and back interior, page block top edge notably dusted. Orange cloth with red and black titling to the spine and to the front. The boards remain robust, secure, and tolerably sharp, but show a number of short and light shelf marks to the front, back, and spine. xxiv, 584pp. (A rare copy of one of the most influential texts of the 20th century humanities, a key purveyor of the principles of the New Criticism within the collegiate study of English literature. Also a tour de force of close reading in the best traditions of that movement's governing principles.).
