Description

  • Idylls of the Hearth. London: Edward Moxon, 1864.
  • Paper, ink, leather
8vo (175 x 105 mm). Later limp calf with gilt title. Green gilt morocco slipcase by Riviere.

proof sheets of enoch arden with manuscript corrections and textual differences. The present is numbered "II" on the title-page and it is thought perhaps nine sets were done. A set in the collection of Jerome Kern was numbered "IV." As is well known, Tennyson settled on the title Enoch Arden for this work shortly after printing, necessitating a cancel title.
