"Moxon's Standard Poets"
The Poetical Works Of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Including "The Seaside and The Fireside"
And The Authors Translations And Later Poems
Edited by William Michael Rossetti
Published by Ward, Lock & Co Limited: London c1885 (undated)

"The Poetical Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, published by Ward, Lock & Co., Limited of London, New York and Melbourne around 1885, presents a finely bound late Victorian edition in the celebrated Moxon's Standard Poets series. Edited by William Michael Rossetti, the volume gathers Longfellow's most enduring verse, including The Seaside and the Fireside, together with his later works and translations. The book's handsome red cloth binding, decorated in gilt and black with floral motifs, exemplifies the aesthetic style of late 19th-century decorative publishers' bindings and reflects the era's reverence for poetry as both moral and artistic refinement.

This edition offers readers a comprehensive collection of Longfellow's lyrical and narrative poetry, capturing his gift for rhythm and sentiment through themes of love, faith, nature, and human experience. Rossetti's editorial oversight ensures scholarly precision and a high standard of presentation consistent with the Moxon series' reputation for literary excellence. A striking collectible for admirers of American Romantic poetry, Victorian literature, and decorative 19th-century bindings, this volume would especially appeal to collectors of Longfellow's works and enthusiasts of the golden age of book design."
