ENGLAND'S PARNASSUS. |
\95,000 1913. In 1 Vols. Englands Parnassus. Compiled by Robert Allot, 1600. Edited from Original Text in Bodleian Library and Compared with the two copies in the British Museum by Charles Crawford. With Introduction,Notes, Tables and Indexes. xliii,560pp. (Clarendon Press, 1913) Original red cloth, top edge gilt. EXTREMELY SCARCE.* This is the first Poetical Anthology of English literature, and is also the most valuable. This extremely rare selection from Shakespeare, and other poets, has enabled editors to assign to their true authors various pieces not otherwise known. It has also preserved numerous verses of the Elizabethan and anti-Elizabethan period nowhere else to be met with, and the names of poets who are not otherwise known in literary history than by their mention in England's Parnassus. |
