1926 Poetry Anthology, Hardcover, Browning, Keats, Tennyson Verse Book

The Pocket University — Volume XI Poetry, Idyls & Stories in Verse Published 1926 · Hardcover · 328 Pages A beautifully preserved 1926 volume from The Pocket University series, devoted to poetry, narrative verse, and lyrical storytelling from some of the most celebrated voices in English literature. Bound in elegant cloth boards and modestly sized to fit comfortably in the hand, this refined miniature anthology possesses the quiet sophistication of a forgotten private library. Within its 328 pages are works rich in atmosphere, romance, legend, melancholy, and imagination—poems that continue to resonate for their beauty of language and emotional depth. Included are beloved works by Robert Browning, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and John Keats, whose writings helped shape the literary spirit of the nineteenth century. Among the collection are Browning’s enchanting The Pied Piper of Hamelin, Keats’ dreamlike and haunting The Eve of St. Agnes, and Tennyson’s deeply reflective Dora and The Gardener’s Daughter—works that blend storytelling with poetic elegance in a manner now closely associated with dark academia, romanticism, and antique literary culture. Its understated binding, aged pages, and intimate proportions make the volume especially appealing for collectors of antique poetry books, vintage literary anthologies, dark academia décor, and classic verse collections. Included Works • A King Lived Long Ago — Robert Browning • Dora — Alfred Lord Tennyson • The Gardener’s Daughter
