Becket
Alfred Lord Tennyson
London: Macmillan, 1885, London · 1885
First Edition. Very Good Indeed. First Edition.
Nice copy of this play in blank verse. Dated 1885 on tp but otherwise identical with the issue dated 1884. Since there is no mention of any earlier printing (the usual practice of Macmillan) I suspect copies dated 1884 & 1885 were issued simultaneouslyaround Christmas 1884.
Light foxing to end-papers but a lovely clean copy; no inscriptions or marks anywhere.
Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
