The complete works of Lord Byron. Octavo, eight volumes bound in four. Bound in three quarters black morocco over marbled boards, gilt titles to the spine, raised bands, marbled endpapers, all edges marbled. In excellent condition showing only light wear. A very attractive set.

"Byron is to a far greater degree than the other romanticists the poet of humankind. He conveys with tremendous power the majesty and desolation of history, the vanity of pomp and pride, the transitoriness of fame. And he is the poet of contemporary society, keen to discern the false and the corrupt, courageous in denunciation yet with pity for the young and innocent… As a poet he mirrored brilliantly and without distortion an absorbingly interesting world" (Baugh, 1229).
