The most important of the author's books of verse. It contains the first printing of "Sohrab and Rustum", "The Scholar Gipsy" and "Requiescat", poems on which perhaps the poet's reputation rests. Also there appeared in this volume for the first time a long and valuable preface in which he attacks the prevailing taste in verse. A very nice copy.
