About This Item
London: Geo. Bell & Sons, 1901. Leather. Very Good. 6.5" by 4". None. A beautiful pocketsized copy of the former poet laureate Robert Bridges' shorter poems. Robert Seymour Bridges, OM (23 October 1844 21 April 1930) was a British poet, and poet laureate from 1913 to 1930. As a poet Bridges stands rather apart from the current of modern English verse, but his work has had great influence in a select circle, by its restraint, purity, precision, and delicacy yet strength of expression. It embodies a distinct theory of prosody. Bridges' faith underpinned much of his work. In a full calf binding. Externally very smart with some shelfwear only. With previous owners ink inscription to the font free end-paper. Internally firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean throughout. Very Good
