Sobre este item
London & New York: Hoddder & Stoughton, 1911. First Brickdale edition. Hardcover. Fine. Illustrated by Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale.. 8vo. viii,(2),216pp. Brown cloth blocked on the spine and upper boards with titles in gilt and designs in dark brown. Illustrated endpapers. Twelve full color full page plates by Brickdale. A fine, bright copy. The dustwrapper repeats the designs of the binding, but in dark brown only. It is lightly toned, shows some wear and chipping at the edges. The original price on the spine was at some time neatly excised, but left the "$" intact, indicating this was a copy intended for the American market.
Contains "Enid," "Vivien," "Elaine" and "Guinevere" from Tennyson's Idylls. The designs on the upper board incorporate King Arthur's shield and crest, both forms of the expected dragon rampant.
Neat gift inscription on the reverse of the frontispiece leaf. Scarce in this condition; rare in dustwrapper.
Howey F-209. Fine.
Sinopse
The Idylls of a King was published between 1859 and 1885 as a collection of 12 narrative poems by the English Poet, Lord Alfred Tennson. The collection regales the legend of King Arthur and his knights, his love for Guinevere and her tragic betrayal of him, and the rise and fall of Arthur's kingdom. The whole work recounts Arthur's attempt and failure to lift up mankind and create a perfect kingdom, from his coming to power to his death at the hands of the traitor Mordred. Individual poems detail the deeds of various knights, including Lancelot, Geraint, Galahad, and Balin and Balan, and also Merlin and the Lady of the Lake. The poems were dedicated to the late Prince Consort Albert. The Idylls are written in blank verse.
