The Poetical Works of Alfred Tennyson

This 1866 edition shows considerable wear, typical of its age. The spine is detached, and the cover shows signs of fading and fraying, particularly along the edges. The binding is loose, and there is no dust jacket. Despite these flaws, the pages remain intact and legible, preserving the full breadth of Tennyson's poetical works.

The Poetical Works of Alfred Tennyson, published by Ticknor and Fields in Boston in 1866, is a complete edition of the esteemed poet's works. This Diamond Edition is a testament to Tennyson's enduring legacy as a master of Victorian poetry. Tennyson, who served as Poet Laureate during much of Queen Victoria's reign, is celebrated for his rich language and exploration of themes such as nature, love, and mortality. This edition is significant for collectors due to its age and the prestige of its publisher, Ticknor and Fields, known for their quality publications in the 19th century. The book's physical condition reflects its historical journey, with visible wear and a detached spine, yet it remains a valuable piece for enthusiasts of classical literature. Its scarcity and historical context make it a noteworthy addition to any collection.
