The Cambridge History of Early Modern English Literature, David Loewenstein and Janel Mueller — 1st Edition

Publication: Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2015

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 1050.

Condition Report: Fine condition. The dark green cloth binding is impeccably tight and completely free of shelf-wear, retaining perfectly sharp corners and unbumped spine ends. The gilt crest and lettering to the spine remain strikingly bright without any signs of tooling oxidation, indicating careful storage away from direct sunlight. The text-block edges are entirely clean, showing no handling marks, foxing, or age-toning. Internally, the pages are crisp, exceptionally bright, and completely unmarked, showing no evidence of reading wear. The dust jacket is equally immaculate, exhibiting no fading, edge-creasing, or shelf-rubbing, presenting as new. 

Catalogue Note: This copy is a 2015 hardback reprint of the original 2002 first edition. While later paperback iterations and modern print-on-demand copies are heavily circulated, encountering this substantial scholarly hardback, complete with its original dust jacket, in such immaculate, unread condition is uncommon on the open market.

The volume omits illustrations in favour of rigorous textual scholarship, offering a clean, authoritative reference entirely free from previous ownership inscriptions, bookplates, or institutional stamps.

This monumental volume provides an exhaustive, multi-faceted survey of English literature during the early modern period. Bringing together an international team of leading scholars, the text examines the dynamic literary culture from the Tudor era through to the Civil War and the English Reformation. Moving beyond individual authors, the history delves deeply into the mechanics of manuscript circulation, early print production, and literary patronage, making it an indispensable resource for historians and literary scholars alike.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.
Condition Description
New A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
