The Poems of Moore published by the Co-Operative Publication Society (circa 1900–1910) is a two-volume compilation of the poetic works of the famous Irish Romantic poet, Thomas Moore. As part of the publisher's "Library of Poetical Literature" series, this set aggregates Moore’s major lyrical, narrative, and satirical works, which are deeply rooted in 19th-century romanticism, Irish heritage, and global folklore.
The Co-operative Publication Society specialized in printing uniform, budget-friendly subscription multi-volume sets of classic literature, histories, and poetry intended for home libraries.
Rather than being a cohesive narrative or the work of a single author, this 25-volume collection is a compilation of anthologies and multi-volume sets dedicated to major 19th-century Romantic, Victorian, and classical British and American poets.
The volumes feature thematic binding—frequently styled in decorative blue or dark green cloth with gold-stamped lettering and floral or geometric motifs—and each includes a frontispiece illustration by artists of the period.
