About This Item

New York: Thomas Y. Crowell & Co, 1893. Hardcover. Biographical sketch by Nathan Haskell Dole. 12mo. Beige cloth spine with gilt lettering and elaborate gilt floral pattern and pale green decorated cloth. li, 384pp. All edges gilt. Tissue-guarded frontispiece + engraved title page. Very good. Faint binding edgewear, else tight and internally near fine. Handsome copy of this broad selection of the poet's best work -- with choice autograph addition: Tipped to front flyleaf is a near fine 2 3/4" X 1 3/4" slip boldly inscribed and signed by the poet in black ink: "I am, Sir, / respectfully yours / W.C. Bryant / Esq." Bryant (1794-1878), "The Father of American Poetry," was a mainstay of the 19th century literary scene, a popular and influential liberal journalist and long-time editor of the "New York Evening Post," but is best remembered as a prolific poet whose best-known piece, "Thanatopsis," was written as a teenager.
