SPENSER'S IMAGES OF LIFE

First edition, first printing. Original red cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents, with faint offsetting and a previous owner's signature and date to the front free endpaper are otherwise clean and bright throughout. Complete with the very lightly rubbed dustwrapper that is a touch toned at the spine. Not price-clipped (21s on the front flap).

C. S. Lewis gave a course of undergraduate lectures on Edmund Spenser at Cambridge University which he intended to turn into a book, though this remained unrealised at his death. Here Alastair Fowler has collected and edited Lewis's lectures and notes to construct a cohesive piece of literary criticism.
