This bundle includes three classic studies on tragedy. 'Principles of Tragedy' by Geoffrey Brereton, published by the University of Miami Press in 1969, is in its second edition. 'The Vision of Tragedy' by Richard B. Sewall, from Yale University Press in 1960, is in its third printing. 'Tragic Themes in Western Literature' edited by Cleanth Brooks, also from Yale University Press in 1960, has an unstated edition. The books are in good condition. They show some foxing, sunning, and light soiling on covers and spines. They were former library copies with the usual markings. There's light rubbing and wear on covers and spine edges, along with shelf and edge - wear, rounding, and scuffing on edges, corners, and spine ends. The text blocks and page edges have some soiling, but readability isn't affected. The bindings are tight, and the pages are clean.
These books are great for anyone interested in the study of tragedy. To use them, simply open up the pages and start reading. You can take notes in a separate notebook to jot down your thoughts. Since they were former library copies, you might find some stamps or markings inside, but don't let that bother you. When it comes to storage, keep them in a dry and cool place to prevent further foxing or soiling. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for long periods as it can cause more sunning on the covers. Handle them gently to prevent more wear and tear on the covers and spines. If you notice any loose pages, you can use some archival tape to fix them, but be careful not to damage the text.
