The Cambridge History of English Literature, 1660-1780, John Richetti — 1st Edition

Publication: Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2015 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 964.

Condition Report: Very Good. The volume remains tightly bound and squarely set, retaining a robust structural integrity without any sagging to the text block. The original red cloth boards are entirely clean, and the gilt tooling to the spine remains notably bright and unoxidised, indicating it has been kept away from excessive damp or sunlight. The text block edges display some mild dusting and faint, superficial blemishes commensurate with standard shelf-wear, but internally, the pages are uniformly bright, crisp, and free from any foxing or marking. The accompanying glossy dust jacket presents very well, exhibiting only light surface scuffing and minor rubbing to the extremities, with no significant tears, loss, or fading.

Catalogue Note: This volume is a 2015 hardcover reprint of the first edition, originally published in 2005 as a cornerstone addition to the esteemed 'New Cambridge History of English Literature' series. It retains its original publisher's binding and the protective dust jacket, which notably features the comprehensive contents list across the rear panel rather than a standard blurb.

As a heavy, highly referenced academic text, hardcover iterations of this specific volume are increasingly uncommon on the open market; many institutional copies suffer from heavy reading wear, and subsequent commercial print runs often defaulted to the paperback format.

An authoritative and expansive collaborative history, this volume offers a profound synthesis of English literature from the Restoration through to the late eighteenth century. Under the editorial guidance of John Richetti, a host of renowned scholars explore the dynamic shifts in literary production, charting the emergence of the novel, the vital contributions of women writers, and the profound intersections between print media, philosophy, and societal change. It stands as an indispensable resource for understanding the cultural and intellectual vibrancy of a transformative era in English letters.

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.
