A lovely tree calf bound set of Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene, one of the longest poems in the English language. It follows Arthurian knights in the examination of 12 moral virtues and was a huge success in its time owing to Elizabeth I's political approval of its noble and virtuous teachings and its celebration of the Tudor dynasty.
New edition; 4 volumes, 8vo (22 x 14 cm); contemporary manuscript bookplates to pastedowns, touch of spotting; contemporary full tree calf, gilt motifs to spines in six compartments, with contrasting gilt red and black morocco labels, upper joint of vol. I starting to split, a very good set; lxix, 248, [48]; [2], 300, [1]; [2], 502, [1]; [2], 462, [19]pp.
