THE FRIENDSHIP: WORDSWORTH AND COLERIDGE

by Adam Sisman

Published by Harpercollins Publishers. 1st. 2006

Slightly better than very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. Wordsworth and Coleridge's passionate intimacy, shared ambition and subsequent estrangement contribute to a tragic tale. Sisman's wonderful biography of this most remarkable friendship seeks to re-examine the orthodox assumption that these two poets flourished as a result of their relationship. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w illustrations. xxv and 480 pages including index.

Vertical reading crease to spine. Contents clean. Pictorial dustwrapper is sunned to spine.
