The editions of The Poems of William Wordsworth published by the Co-operative Publication Society (frequently released around the turn of the 20th century as part of multi-volume collections like A Book Lover’s Library of Poetical Literature) are standard nineteenth-century collected or selected poetical works.
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.
