Robert Brownings Poems, Antique Hardcover Book. Measures 7 1/2" by 5". Published by Thomas Y Crowell Company. 507 pages. Good condition. Shows age and use. Has writing on the inside cover. Some damage near the spine on the inside cover.
This significant 507-page volume was published by Thomas Y. Crowell & Company in New York, reflecting the author’s revised text of 1889. It contains a deep selection of Browning’s most enduring works, including his complex psychological monologues and celebrated romantic verses. The book is bound in a classic Victorian burgundy cloth with ornate gold-gilt decoration and lettering on the spine, a hallmark of Crowell's high-quality literary editions from the late 19th century.
Measuring 7 1/2 inches by 5 inches, this antique hardcover serves as a beautiful decorative object and a historical link to the height of British Victorian poetry. It includes biographical notes and editorial oversight by Charlotte Porter and Helen A. Clarke, who were respected scholars of the era. While it shows the expected wear of a century-old treasure, its substantial page count and classic binding make it a cornerstone piece for any serious poetry collection or a thoughtful gift for a literature enthusiast.
This book is antique, over 120 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
