Romanticism

Romanticism is encountered in the antiquarian book trade in many forms: first editions of the poets and novelists who carried this movement forward, correspondences expressing the passions and literary battles of the century, manuscripts bearing witness to the creative ferment of the era. The bibliophilic interest often lies in the provenance, the inscription, or the rarity of the print run, which allow one to recapture the spirit of an entire generation turned towards feeling and creative freedom.
