Add to baskethardcover. Condition: Very Good. Englands Parnassus, Compiled by Robert Allot and Edited by Charles Crawford â" First Edition Thus Publication: Oxford, At the Clarendon Press, 1913 Formatting: 8vo, pp. xliii, 560. Condition Report Very Good. The volume presents well in its original red cloth, though the spine has sunned to a war…mer, brownish tone, which is typical for this binding. The gilt floral tooling and lettering remain relatively bright, particularly on the front board, though a patch of dark discoloured staining is present near the top edge of the front cover. The extremities show minor rubbing and softening, with the binding remaining tight, square, and structurally sound. Internally, the pages are largely crisp and bright with a gilt top edge, though the untrimmed fore and bottom edges exhibit moderate toning. A neatly penned previous ownership signature ("J. Richards") and a discreet blue monogram stamp reside on the verso of the half-title page. Aside from mild, occasional spotting to the endpapers and preliminary leaves, the text block is clean and entirely legible, preserving the integrity of this robust scholarly edition. Catalogue Note This is Charles Crawford's critically acclaimed 1913 scholarly edition, published at the Clarendon Press. Crawfordâs monumental effort sought to correct the textual inaccuracies of Robert Allotâs original 1600 compilation, meticulously referencing the original text held at the Bodleian Library against two copies in the British Museum. The volume features a gilt top edge and a red silk ribbon marker. Provenance is noted by a previous ownerâs signature alongside a blue monogram ink stamp on the verso of the half-title page. Genuine 1913 Clarendon Press printings of this specific work have become increasingly scarce on the open market, with the vast majority of currently available copies being modern print-on-demand facsimiles. Originally published in 1600, Englands Parnassus is a seminal Elizabethan poetry miscellany compiled by Robert Allot. Designed as a commonplace book, it gathered over two thousand quotations from the leading literary figures of the period, including significant early printings of verse by William Shakespeare, Edmund Spenser, and Christopher Marlowe. Charles Crawfordâs 1913 critical edition remains a vital scholarly achievement, providing an exhaustive introduction, detailed notes, and comprehensive indexes that finally brought rigorous academic clarity to a text notorious for its early printing errors and misattributions.
