A lovely clean copy of this uncommon Yorkshire-published poetry anthology which contains two poems each by Anne and Emily Bronte, and a single poem by Charlotte Bronte.

Publisher’s red- stamped cloth with gilt decoration and black roan spine. Bookplate of the Lancashire collector Robert Hayhurst, with several additional poems from 19th century imprints tipped onto early leaves. The book which runs to 96 pages is made up of six separate imprints, each with its own title page, Bronte contributions at pp 15, 16, 35-8, 76, 88 - Charlotte Bronte’s poem receives a mini biographical introduction; the others are printed without comment.

Published four years after the death of the last of the sisters, Charlotte Bronte, this is an early example of their work being anthologised in a collection of poems otherwise written almost exclusively by Yorkshire men.
