Tennyson, Alfred; Eleanor Vera Boyle.. Maud and Other Poems. Edward Moxon,, 1855.
Price: US$576.39 + shipping
Condition: Very Good
Description: Edward Moxon, Dover Street, 1855. First Edition. Small Octavo. 154 pages. The first edition. Tennyson published Maud, and Other Poems. Notable among the other poems was 'The Charge of the Light Brigade', the last poem at the end of the book. Bound in either pig skin or vellum with ornate gilt decoration with the initials E.V.B. on the front cover. She pages do have some light spotting and some light marks. The binding has light wear along the edges and the front inner hinge is cracked, else very good. Size 18 x 11cm (7 x 4.5 inches) The binding although well done has a crude finish, more obvious on the inside at the end papers. Would Eleanor Vera Boyle make this binding? She was artistic and had time on her hands. She could afford to get a professional book binder to bind her books, she was married to the chaplain of Queen Victoria and was a daughter to an earl, she was wealthy. She also illustrated a book by Tennyson The May Queen in 1861, she must have met Tennyson in her small circle of artist friends. The last poem The charge of the Light Brigade was at Balaklava in the Crimea, had taken place on 25 October. Tennyson's periodical publication in The Examiner (9 Dec 1854) had stirred not only the nation but the troops to whom copies were sent. This poem of Maud or the Madness is a little Hamlet, the history of a morbid, poetic soul, under the blighting influence of a recklessly speculative age. The peculiarity of this poem is that different phases of passion in one person take the place of different characters.
