A scholarly edition of the correspondence of Thomas Gray. This edition presents an authoritative text, together with an introduction and commentary notes.

Condition
A good reading or reference set. Whilst the books are in strong readable condition, they are ex-University library, each with a label to the front board and front pastedown and fairly sensitive discard marks. The front hinge to volume 1 is a little weak but still holding well. The red cloth is bumped and rubbed but not terribly so.
