Robert Bridges - The Testament of Beauty a Poem in Four Books

Oxford , Clarendon Press, 1930. Cloth. A copy of Robert Bridge's most popular poem, A Testament of Beauty. With tissue-guarded frontispiece. A Testament of Beauty is a discursive work, setting out his understanding of man's nature, spiced with scenes and incidents from his experience and reading. When Oxford University Press published it, just in time for Bridges' eighty-fifth birthday in 1929, they were unprepared for its success. Printings could scarcely keep up with demand, and by 1946 it had sold over 70,000 copies. On 3 June 1929 Bridges was awarded the Order of Merit (DNB) In a quarter-vellum binding. Externally smart, though a little rubbed. Internally, firmly bound. Ink signature dated 1933 to recto of front free-endpaper. Pages have some light foxing to first and last few pages. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
