Item description

The typical Everyman's Library book bound and jacketed during the "Ravilious Era" from 1935 to 1952 is characterized by a solid color dust jacket over a book with an undecorated spine. The book is radically modified from the bindings and jacket designs used prior to 1935, with new design elements by Eric Ravilious. Binding and jacket colors and interior details vary among the thirteen sections of the library: Biography, Classical, Essays and Belles Lettres, Fiction, History, Oratory, Poetry Drama, Reference, Romance, Science, Theology Philosophy, Travel Topography, and Young People. New collectors of Everyman's Library are often confused by books that have mismatched dates, bindings, and jackets. Such mismatches are common and are due to the way Dent manufactured Everyman's titles. Books were printed in batches of about 10,000 and stored, unbound, until orders were received. Jackets were also printed and stored. Because of this, slower-selling titles often have mismatched dates, bindings, and jackets: a slow selling title printed in the Flatback Era could be bound late in the Shield Era, but not jacketed until the Ravilious Era. Tight, clean, flat, square book with bumped head, tail and corners in DJ with small chips, bends, creases, wrinkles and tears. See pictures for details. Alexander Pope is generally regarded as the greatest English poet of the eighteenth century, best known for his satirical verse and for his translation of Homer. He is the third most frequently quoted writer in the English language, after Shakespeare and Tennyson. Pope was a master of the heroic couplet.
