Description
8vo., First Edition, with a frontispiece and 10 plates; cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter lightly browned at backstrip. With a personal bookplate on front paste-down. First edition of the memorable literary study which made Gittings' name and inspired a generation of students and general readers. In an enthralling account of the single 365-day period in which Keats created the majority of his greatest work, Gittings combines biography, history, topography, detection and sheer perception to marvellous effect. An undisputed classic of mid-twentieth century literary criticism. VERY SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION
