Add to baskethardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Publication: London, Hutchinson & Co., 1892 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 714. Condition Report: Good. The original green gilt-blocked cloth boards remain well-preserved, exhibiting only mild rubbing to the extremities and slight bumping to the spine ends, which is typical for a volume of this a…ge. The gilt lettering on the spine and front board retains a pleasing brightness, unoxidised and entirely legible. The textblock is tightly bound; however, the untrimmed edges are significantly darkened and heavily toned, bearing consistent dust-soiling. Internally, there is pronounced browning and offsetting to the front pastedown and free endpapers, likely resulting from poor-quality acidic paper or a previous dust-wrapper. Scattered foxing is evident throughout the preliminary leaves, most notably marring the half-title and title page, though the central text remains crisp, legible, and largely unmarked. Catalogue Note: This volume represents the eighth instalment in the ambitious encyclopedic anthology of nineteenth-century verse. Most critically for collectors, this specific volume features the first appearance in a book of the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins. Following Hopkins's death, his friend and literary executor Robert Bridges cautiously introduced his groundbreaking work to the public, contributing a brief biographical notice and selecting his poems for inclusion here,decades before the landmark 1918 posthumous collection. The provenance includes an attractive, bespoke woodcut bookplate belonging to Walter Hirst affixed to the front pastedown. Alongside this is a contemporary ownership signature from "Stanley Weall" dated "Sept. 1893," providing a firm timeline for its early acquisition. While complete sets of the ten-volume trade edition occasionally appear on the open market, this particular volume remains individually sought-after due to the seminal Hopkins inclusions, making it distinctly more desirable than its companion volumes. An essential cornerstone for any serious collector of Victorian verse, this anthology captures the shifting poetic landscape of the late nineteenth century. Most revered as the quiet, inaugural debut of Gerard Manley Hopkinsâs radically innovative poetry, it was meticulously curated by his closest confidant, Robert Bridges. This handsome, gilt-stamped volume offers a fascinating snapshot of literary history, preserving the very moment when one of the English language's most extraordinary poetic voices was first introduced to the world.
