A Very Good + or better set of this Two Volume collection of Elizabethan Poetry, of which only 250 copies of this large paper edition were published, SIGNED BY A. H. BULLEN. Volume I [1890] is inscribed and signed by Bullen on the title page as follows: "From / A. H. Bullen", and Volume II [1891] is signed by Bullen on the half-title. Each Volume is bound in half-leather with the spine lettered and dated in gilt. The free endpapers and pastedowns have some offsetting and foxing, and the remainder of the leaves are rather clean, bright, and attractive. Founder of the Shakespeare Head Press, Bullen was an editor, publisher, and a specialist in 16th and 17th Century literature. The set presents a collection of early Welsh, Scottish, and English Poets that were found and gathered by Elizabethan scholar and poet Francis Davison (1575 - 1619) and which otherwise would have have been lost to history. The set itself is not terribly common, and signed copies are quite scarce. A very nice copy of an important collection of Elizabethan Poetry, SIGNED BY A. H. BULLEN.
