Early English Poems

The book is bound in maroon cloth, showing significant wear, particularly on the spine and edges. The cover is faded, and the corners are bumped. There is no dust jacket. The pages are age-toned, typical for a book of this period, but remain intact and readable. Overall, the condition is fair, reflecting its over-a-century-old history.

"Early English Poems," selected and edited by Henry S. Pancoast and John Duncan Spaeth, presents a curated collection of poetry that captures the essence of early English literary tradition. Published by Henry Holt and Company in 1911, this hardcover edition offers insights into the evolution of English poetry. The editors, both noted scholars, have compiled works that reflect the richness of the English language's poetic heritage. This edition is particularly valuable for collectors and historians interested in early 20th-century printings of classic literature. With its original maroon cloth binding, this book is an evocative artifact of its time, though it shows signs of wear consistent with its age. A must-have for enthusiasts of English literature and historical poetry compilations.
