About this Item
Finely bound collection of the works of Lord Byron. Octavo, sixteen volumes, contemporary full calf, gilt titles and tooling to the spine, front and rear panels, marbled endpapers, frontispiece to each volume. In very good condition. "Byron is to a far greater degree than the other romanticists the poet of humankind. He conveys with tremendous power the majesty and desolation of history, the vanity of pomp and pride, the transitoriness of fame. And he is the poet of contemporary society, keen to discern the false and the corrupt, courageous in denunciation yet with pity for the young and innocentâ ¦ As a poet he mirrored brilliantly and without distortion an absorbingly interesting world" (Baugh, 1229).
