A propos de cet article

**BRIDGES, Robert. Poetical Works of Robert Bridges. Complete in Six Volumes.** London: Smith, Elder & Co., 15 Waterloo Place, 1898–1905. An attractive complete six-volume set of the first collected edition of the poetical works of Robert Bridges (1844–1930), the English poet, dramatist and later Poet Laureate from 1913 until his death. Issued in six volumes between 1898 and 1905, this important collected edition brings together Bridges' poetry, narrative verse, dramatic works and explanatory notes, reflecting his distinctive contributions to late Victorian and early Edwardian English literature. The volumes contain: **Volume I (1898):** Prometheus the Firegiver, Eros and Psyche, The Growth of Love, and Notes. **Volume II (1899):** Shorter Poems, New Poems, Notes, and Index of First Lines. **Volume III (1901):** The First Part of Nero, Achilles in Scyros, and Notes. **Volume IV (1902):** Palicio, The Return of Ulysses, and Notes. **Volume V (1902):** The Christian Captives, Humours of the Court, and Notes. **Volume VI (1905):** The Feast of Bacchus, The Second Part of the History of Nero, and Notes. An important early collected publication of Bridges' writings, issued before his appointment as Poet Laureate. Bridges was noted for his experiments in poetic metre and rhythm and also played a significant role in bringing the work of Gerard Manley Hopkins to a wider readership. Bound uniformly in the publisher's original blue cloth, with gilt titles to the spines. A handsome matching set retaining its original period bindings. **Provenance:** From the private library of C. Vivian Henry, with his illustrated ex-libris bookplate featuring Chaucer on horseback to the front pastedowns. **Condition:** Good. Complete six-volume set in original blue cloth. General age-related fading and some uneven discolouration to the cloth, particularly along the spines. Rubbing and wear to spine ends, board edges and corners, with minor surface marks and shelf wear. Gilt spine lettering remains visible. Page edges age-toned. Internally generally clean and well preserved, with occasional spotting, light foxing and minor handling marks. Bookplates as described. The bindings appear substantially intact and the text blocks remain presentable. An appealing complete first collected edition, of interest to collectors of English poetry, Victorian and Edwardian literature, literary history and decorative antiquarian book sets. Please examine the accompanying photographs carefully, as they form part of the condition description. Additional photographs are available upon request. …
