Description (reader-appeal, boutique romantic):
A beautiful vintage tribute to poetry’s great romantic voice. Keats appears here in the storied Cambridge Edition of the Poets — a handsome Riverside Press volume designed for serious readers and lifelong lovers of verse. Bound in rich burgundy cloth with a gilt laurel wreath, this edition opens with engraved portrait plates and tissue guards, then moves into the full sweep of Keats’s poems and letters — the odes, the fragments, the passionate epistolary record of a short incandescent life.

This copy was given as a Christmas gift in 1931 and later served as a keepsake in a small New York library, its charm now preserved in archival protection. The gilt remains bright, the binding secure, and the pages offer that warm toned paper so characteristic of Riverside Press craftsmanship.

A lovely companion for the nightstand, a winter reading ritual, or a gift for someone who likes their poetry lush, mortal, and full of longing.
