A three volume first edition anthology of English poetry, edited by the English antiquary Joseph Ritson, a staunch supporter of the French Revolution best known for his 1795 compilation of tales of the Robin Hood legend.

Featured within these volumes are examples of the poetry of such talents as Chaucer, Shakespeare and Dryden, alongside samples from unnamed authors.These works are beautifully bound, with the first volume in full straight grained morocco, and volumes II and III in full calf. Volume I was published in 1793, and volumes II and III in 1794.From the library of Audrey Pleydell-Bouverie, an extravagant socialite and renowned beauty of the Edwardian period.

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket As Issued. Second Edition. First Printing. Half calf, gilt, over marbled boards. Spine in five compartments, separated by raised bands, title in gilt, decoration at head and heel; cover borders gilt-tooled with small flower tools. All edges marbled. Numerous head and tailpieces and in-text illustrations by Thomas Bewick, reproduced from the first edition. The tales of Robin Hood were most famously collected and edited by Joseph Ritson. Ritson (1752-1803), antiquary, vegetarian, conveyancer, barrister, and subsequent psychotic, is best remembered for his work in the field of literature, particularly in the field of popular poetry, where, the DNB politely says, "he won his least disputable triumphs." He issued several anthologies in competition with Bishop Percy's "Ancient Reliques", but his greatest work was this "Robin Hood", in which, for the first time, were collected and explained all the extant allusions to the legendary outlaw. This particular edition, dedicated by the editor to Sir Walter Scott, was published with the omission of many of Ritson scholarly notes to leave a more readable and lively story. Robin Hood had just been reintroduced in Scott's extraordinarily popular "Ivanhoe" and this edition was published to complement that novel. .
