Item description from seller

This finely bound book was presented to James Blair Leishman by Earnseat School Arnside, Cumbria, England, as a form prize. James Blair Leishman, FBA (8 May 1902-14 August 1963) was a British scholar of English literature and a translator of German poetry. The son of a merchant, Leishman was schooled at Earnseat School and at Rydal Mount in Colwyn Bay before studying classics at St John's College, Oxford; he completed a BLitt in English in 1929. In 1928, he was appointed to an assistant lectureship at the University College, Southampton. He remained there until 1946, when he moved to the University of Oxford to be a full lecturer; he was promoted to a senior lectureship two years later. He was also a lecturer (1948–60) and senior research fellow (from 1960) at St John's College, Oxford. He published on seventeenth-century English poetry, and also translated Germany poetry, mostly by Rilke and Hölderlin. He died after falling during a walk in Switzerland in 1963, the same year that he had been elected a fellow of the British Academy. Exquisitely bound in fine red morocco with gilding to front and spine. ESA motif to front for Earnseat School Arnside. Light scratches above same. Five raised bands and six panels on spine highly decorated with floral pattern with book title in gold lettering on second panel. Corners and spine ends good. All edges of page block beautifully marbled, as are the endpapers. School Prize bookplate on front paste down endpaper. Several spots on following blank pages and half title page. Frontispiece is a colour rainbow with a tissue guard. The book contains 54 illustrations and diagrams. This book was quite clearly treasured. There are no pen marks or inscriptions. The binding is perfect. Please examine all seller photos.
