AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This bundled set includes two classic 19th-century poetry volumes by major figures of English-language literature. The Poetical Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow offers a comprehensive collection of his poems, showcasing his wide thematic range from narrative and historical verse to lyrical and reflective poetry. The volume is illustrated, enhancing the reading experience and reflecting the Victorian tradition of pairing poetry with fine engravings. The Poetical Works of William Wordsworth gathers his most important poems, focusing on nature, memory, and the inner life, representing the core of Romantic poetry and Wordsworth’s enduring literary influence. Together, these books provide a broad and representative view of 19th-century poetic thought and style.

Both books date from the 19th century and are illustrated editions, which makes them especially appealing to collectors and literature enthusiasts. Complete poetic collections from this period, issued by established publishers and preserved together as a matching literary bundle, are increasingly scarce on the market. Their age, literary importance, and illustrated nature contribute to their desirability and collectible status.

This item is carefully packed and shipped with a track-and-trace code.
