Description

2 volumes. Scarce First Edition. With pleasing provenance, most probably the copy once owned by Tucker Brooke, the important Shakespearean scholar, see his articles in the Yale Review, Volume VI (6) (1916-1917): Shakespeare's England; Volume XIII (13) (1923-1924): The Life of Shakespeare, also The Folio of 1623; Volume XVI (16) (1926-1927): Shakespeare's Queen, and a number of other important books and articles relating to Shakespeare and Marlowe (see below). Well illustrated with 195 plates and two engraved frontispieces from contemporary sources. 8vo, publisher?s original dark blue cloth handsomely lettered and decorated in gilt on spines and upper covers, lower covers decorated in blind. xxiv, 546; x, 610 pp. A very bright and attractive set, the text clean and sturdy with just the lightest hint of mellowing to which the true first edition is prone. The cloth is clean and the books very handsome indeed with essentially no wear and just a touch of age.
