<p>“In the whole of European literature there is no poet who can furnish the texts for a more significant variety of discourse than Virgil. [He] symbolizes so much in the history of Europe, and represents such central European values…” ?T.S. Eliot</p> <p><em>The Eclogues</em> (38 BC), also known as the <em>Bucolics</em>, is a work by Roman poet Virgil. Although less prominent than <em>The Aeneid</em>, Virgil’s legendary epic of the Trojan hero Aeneas and his discovery of what would later become the city of Rome, <em>The Eclogues</em> have endured as a landmark in the history of pastoral poetry. <em>The Eclogues</em> were inspired by the bucolic idylls of Hellenistic poet Theocritus, poems set in the rural region of Arcadia in Ancient Greece. In contrast to Theocritus, whose poems idealized agricultural life for a cosmopolitan audience based in Alexandria, Virgil’s work is grounded in the complex sociopolitical realities of its day, a time of civil war following the assassination of Julius Caesar.</p> <p>“Some brutal soldier will possess these fields / An alien master. Ah! To what a pass / Has civil discord brought our hapless folk!” Displaced from his land, Meliboeus laments his fate to the farmer Tityrus, who has been fortunate enough to retain his ancestral home. Set amidst civil war, poverty, and cultural upheaval, the <em>Eclogues</em> vary in tone and scope from the tragic dialogue just described to a lonely shepherd crying for lost love and a singing competition held between two gifted men. In emphasizing the connection between poetry, singing, and labor, Virgil recalls the roots of written language in an older, oral tradition, restoring what has been lostーpeace, land, possessions, loveーin what can never be taken away. “Love conquers all things; yield we too to love!” In a time of widespread uncertainty, Virgil found solace in surrendering to the unknown while remaining certain of one eternal truth: as long as love survives, there will be songs.</p> <p>This edition of Virgil’s <em>The Eclogues</em> is a classic work of Roman literature reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p><em>Poems</em> (1920) is a collection of poems and plays by W.B. Yeats. Containing many of the poet’s early important works, <em>Poems</em> illuminates Yeats’ influence on the Celtic Twilight, a late-nineteenth century movement to revive the myths and traditions of Ancient Ireland.</p> <p>The collection opens with Yeats’ verse drama <em>The Countess Cathleen</em>, which he dedicated to the actress and revolutionary Maud Gonne. Set during a period of famine in Ireland, <em>The Countess Cathleen</em> tells the story of a wealthy landowning Countess who sells her soul to the devil in order to save her starving tenants. <em>The Land of Heart’s Desire</em>, Yeats’ first professionally performed play, follows a young fairy child who disrupts the lives of two newlyweds and shakes a simple village to its core. <em>The Rose</em> contains some of the writer’s most beloved early poems, including “To the Rose Upon the Rood of Time”ーa symbolist lyric alluding to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawnーand “Fergus and the Druid,” a dialogue in verse. In “Who Goes With Fergus,” a poem blending ancient legend with modern Irish nationalism, Yeats asks the youth of his country to “brood on hopes and fears no more,” to follow Fergus who “rules the shadows of the wood, / And the white breast of the dim sea / And all disheveled wandering stars.” Yeats’ writing, mysterious and rich with symbolism, demonstrates not just a mastery of the English language, but an abiding faith in the cause and principles of Irish independence.</p> <p>This edition of W.B.

<p><em>America and Other Poems</em> (1853) is a book of poems by J.M. Whitfield. Published while the poet was working as a barber in Buffalo, New York, <em>America and Other Poems</em> captures his sense of poetic form while expressing his belief in the abolition of slavery. In these odes, hymns, and prayers, Whitfield established his reputation as a pioneering African American poet, an impassioned voice for his people who tirelessly sought to change the course of history with his words. “The North Star,” which concludes the collection, was written for Frederick Douglass’ abolitionist newspaper <em>The North Star</em>, that “guard of truth and liberty” for all. “The writer of the following pages is a poor colored man of this city, engaged in the humble, yet honorable and useful occupation of a barber.” In the introduction to his debut book of poems, J.M. Whitfield proudly and directly asserts his identity. Although he does not fit in with the traditional figure of the poet, Whitfield proves his mastery of form while condemning slavery in the strongest terms. “America” opens the collection with a direct address to the nation “from whence has issued many a band / To tear the black man from his soil, / And force him here to delve and toil”: “America, it is to thee, / Thou boasted land of liberty,ー / It is to thee I raise my song, / Thou land of blood, and crime, and wrong.” Without fear, Whitfield questions the moral and political promise of a nation built by slaves. He demands through song and prayer the advent of a day when to “north and south, and east and west, / The wrongs we bear shall be redressed.” This edition of J.M Whitfield’s <em>America and Other Poems</em> is a classic of African American literature reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p><em>Maud, and Other Poems</em> (1850) is a collection of poems by British poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The first work Tennyson published after becoming Poet Laureate in 1850, <em>Maud, and Other Poems</em> contains several of the poet’s most celebrated works. “Maud,” the title poem, is a narrative that explores themes of forbidden romance, marriage, death, and mourning. “The Charge of the Light Brigade,” originally published in <em>The Examiner</em> in 1854, was written as a tribute to the British Light Cavalry Brigade, which led an ill-fated charge at the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War.</p> <p>“Maud” follows a young poet who, after the tragic loss of his father, falls in love with the beautiful Maud. Despite his honorable intentions, the narrator is thwarted by Maud’s brother, who wants his sister to marry a wealthy businessman. When the brother takes a brief trip to London, the young poet uses the opportunity to court Maud in earnest. But time is not on his side, and the brother returns to throw a ball in order to introduce the businessman to his sister. As his chance at love erodes, the poet makes a desperate choice and risks losing everythingーlove, home, and life itself. “The Charge of the Light Brigade” is a tribute to the British casualties at the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War. Tennyson’s patriotic narrative poem addresses the controversy surrounding the charge, which took place because of a mistaken order and sent hundreds of British cavalrymen in a doomed head-on assault on a well-fortified Russian line of defense.</p> <p>This edition of Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s <em>Maud, and Other Poems</em> is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p><em>Votes for Women!</em> (1907) is a play by American actress, writer, and suffragette Elizabeth Robins. Having established herself as one of England’s leading actresses with her productions of Henrik Ibsen’s dramas, Robins retired from the stage to pursue a writing career. <em>Votes for Women!</em>, inspired by Robins’ own activism as a suffragette, was the first major play to represent the movement on stage. Despite its lukewarm reception and controversial subject matter, Robins’ work would inspire countless other so-called suffragette plays, not only making space in the male-dominated theatrical world for plays written by, for, and about women, but also reclaiming the political influence of the dramatic arts in order to promote a contemporary social struggle.</p> <p>The play opens in the opulent Wynnstay House, a country home in Hertforshire owned by Lady and Lord John Wynnstay. There, Vida Levering, a militant activist for women’s suffrage, prepares to leave for a rally in Trafalgar Square. Defending her political beliefs and motivations against the skepticism and conservative values of her hosts, Miss Levering stays true to her values and leaves for London with a renewed sense of purpose. At the crowded demonstration held at one of London’s most iconic sites, a symbol of state power and military might, Miss Levering works up the courage to address the gathered people.

Mostly satirical, Huxley’s novella, play, and four short stories show a promising writer at the very beginning of his career.</p> <p>In the novella “The Farcical History of Richard Greenow,” Huxley satirizes the lives of his friends and acquaintances at Eton and Oxford. Richard Greenow, a young writer, spends his days as a politically engaged academic. At night, however, he writes fiction for women, crafting stories and serialized novels he sells to a prominent women’s magazine. Finding success, he realizes there is a woman inside him, a writer named Pearl Bellairs who is as much a part of his identity as Richard Greenow is. When war breaks out, however, he must choose between his principled pacifism and his fear of prison, a decision that pits his two unique identities against one another. “Happily Ever After,” a story set during the First World War, follows Peter Jacobsen, “ a man with no nationality and no prejudices,” as he travels across the Atlantic to visit Pemberton, his old friend from Oxford and a renowned scholar of philosophy. As friends and family converge on the stately Petherton home, a classic comedy of manners ensues. <em>Limbo</em> is an early collection of fiction from Aldous Huxley, presaging his satirical and dystopian novels with their abundant wit and unsparing, unmatched ire.</p> <p>This edition of Aldous Huxley’s <em>Limbo</em> is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p><em>Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral</em> (1773) is the first book of poetry published by an African American author. Written while Wheatley was a slave in Boston, the collection was published in England. Regarded for her mastery of classical poetic form, Phillis Wheatley earned praise from Voltaire and George Washington. <em>Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral</em> has long been the subject of scholarly work on the history of African American literature, with some critics arguing that Wheatley’s poems proved detrimental to the struggle of enslaved African Americans. Whether Wheatley made excuses for slavery or, as some have argued, included subtle critiques of the institution in her writing, her talent and importance to the history of African American literature remain undisputed.</p> <p>Despite her status as a slave, Phillis Wheatley seems to have viewed herself as a blessed individual, a woman for whom life itself was a sign of God’s grace, and in whom talent arose in the form of a foreign language. Many of her poemsーelegies, odes, and monologuesーare aimed at others. Whether in mourning, in praise, or in warning, Wheatley frequently offers her own voice to university students, royalty, God, the muses, and deceased infants. When she does offer glimpses of herself, for instance, in her poem “On Being Brought from Africa to America,” she provides a complex perspective on her status as a slave: “’Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land, / Taught my benighted soul to understand / That there’s a God, that there’s a Saviour too.” While her words may seem strange to our modern view of the American institution of slavery, they provide an important historical lens onto the adoption of Christianity by African American slaves, who developed a faith grounded in resistance, hope, and redemption.</p> <p>This edition of Phillis Wheatley’s <em>Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral</em> is a classic of African American literature reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p><em>The Wind Among the Reeds</em> (1899) is a collection of poems and plays by W.B. Yeats. Containing many of the poet’s early important works, <em>The Wind Among the Reeds</em> provides a rich sampling of Yeats’ poems, illuminating his influence on the Celtic Twilight, a late-nineteenth century movement to revive the myths and traditions of Ancient Ireland, while charting his developing sense of the poet’s place in history and a changing world.</p> <p>“The Song of Wandering Aengus” dramatizes aesthetic and romantic longing. The poem follows a man with “a fire…in [his] head” who peels “a hazel wand,” hooks it with a berry, and catches himself “a little silver trout.” Satisfied, he returns home to light a fire and cook himself a meal of fresh fish when, suddenly, the trout transforms into “a glimmering girl / With apple blossom in her hair.” Haunted by her beauty, Aengus wanders the “hollow lands and hilly lands” in search of the girl, leaving his home and forsaking the promise of hard-earned comfort for the hope and hunger of vision . “The Song of the Old Mother,” a deceptively simple lyric reminiscent of William Blake’s <em>Songs of Innocence and of Experience</em>, is a brief meditation on the life of an elderly domestic worker. Rising at dawn, she ensures that “the seed of the fire flicker and glow,” preparing the home for the day ahead while “the young lie long and dream in their bed” with no sense of the nature of work. <em>The Wind Among the Reeds</em>, Yeats’ third collection of poems, introduces some of the poet’s most enduring characters and personas, including Michael Robartes and Red Hanrahan, who dramatize for poet and reader the moods and minds which move a creative spirit.</p> <p>This edition of W.B. Yeats’s <em>The Wind Among the Reeds</em> is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p>“In the whole of European literature there is no poet who can furnish the texts for a more significant variety of discourse than Virgil. [He] symbolizes so much in the history of Europe, and represents such central European values…” ?T.S. Eliot</p> <p><em>The Georgics</em> (29 BC) is a poem by Roman poet Virgil. Although less prominent than <em>The Aeneid</em>, Virgil’s legendary epic of the Trojan hero Aeneas and his discovery of what would later become the city of Rome, <em>The Georgics</em> have endured as a landmark in the history of poetry. <em>The Georgics</em> were inspired by Lucretius’s <em>De Rerum Natura</em> and Hesiod’s <em>Works and Days</em>, an Ancient Greek poem describing the creation of the cosmos, the history of Earth, and the role of agriculture in human life. <em>The Georgics</em> is considered Virgil’s second major work of three and has inspired generations of poets and scholars interested in the ability of literature to bridge the artificial gap between humanity and the natural world.</p> <p>“What makes the cornfield smile […] What pains for cattle-keeping, or what proof / Of patient trial serves for thrifty bees; / Such are my themes.” Beginning with these lines, Virgil’s <em>Georgics</em> is a poem about the life of the world and the need for order to ensure humanity’s survival. Surveying such diverse topics as the creation of the universe, the cycles of human history, and the technical processes applied to soil and animals to produce food and sustain life itself, this poem attempts to rekindle in its reader a sense of unity with the world. Written in a time of immense political upheaval following the death of Julius Caesar and the rise of Emperor Augustus, <em>The Georgics</em> is as much a poem of survival as of faith, a falling back on the old ways that sustain and nurture life, a way of preserving a volatile present for a future forever in the making.</p> <p>This edition of Virgil’s <em>The Georgics</em> is a classic work of Roman literature reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p><em>The Flowers of Evil</em> (1857) is a collection of poems by Charles Baudelaire. Translated into English by Cyril Scott in 1909, Baudelaire’s poems remain lively and idiosyncratic nearly two centuries after they came into existence. Comprised mostly of sonnets and short lyrics, <em>The Flowers of Evil</em> captures Baudelaire’s sense of the changing role of the poet in modern life. Rather than focus on beauty and other ideals, Baudelaire explores the totality of human experienceーthe good, bad, and ugly of life on earth. “When by the changeless Power of a Supreme Decree / The poet issues forth upon this sorry sphere, / His mother, horrified, and full of blasphemy, / Uplifts her voice to God, who takes compassion on her.” In his opening benediction, Baudelaire reverses the typical trope of invoking the muses or celebrating poetry as a divine gift. Instead, he depicts the poet as a being cursed, a “hideous Child of Doom.” Childhood for Baudelaire is a subject of particular interest, a time described, in his poem “The Enemy,” as “a ravaging storm, / Enlivened at times by a brilliant sun…” The youthful experience of melancholy clearly informs the poet’s outlook as an adult: “Time devours our lives, / And the enemy black, which consumeth our hearts / On the blood of our bodies, increases and thrives!” While much of Baudelaire’s work deals with darkness and despair, his poems can rise to the heights of celebration and ecstasy, his voice soft and sweet as he invites his sister on a journey to an imagined land of “order and loveliness, / Luxury, calm and voluptuousness.” Ultimately, Baudelaire’s visionーhowever irreverentーis guided by truth and morality, which drive him on a torturous path from good to evil, beauty to death, and back.

<p><em>Color</em> (1925) is a collection of poems by Countee Cullen. Published the same year Cullen entered Harvard to pursue a masters in English, <em>Color</em> was a brilliant debut by a poet who had already gained a reputation as a leading young artist of the Harlem Renaissance. Deeply personal and attuned to poetic tradition, Cullen’s verses capture the spirit of creative inquiry that defined a generation of writers, musicians, painters, and intellectuals while changing the course of American history itself.</p> <p>“Over three centuries removed / From the scenes his fathers loved, / Spicy grove, cinnamon tree, / What is Africa to me?” In “Heritage,” Cullen investigates his relationship with the past as a black man raised in a nation his people were forced to build. His question bears a dual sense of genuine wonder and cynical doubt, and ultimately produces no easy answer. For Cullen could have just as easily asked “What is America to me?”, to which his poem “Incident” might respond: “I saw a Baltimorean / Keep looking straight at me. / […] / And so I smiled, but he poked out / His tongue, and called me, ‘Nigger.’ / […] Of all the things that happened there / That’s all I can remember.” In these lines, a single memory serves to define an entire city; an entire childhood, even, is defined by the violent response of a white man consumed with hatred. Cullen’s relationship to place, whether Africa, America, or Baltimore, is inextricably linked to his experience of racial violence. With this knowledge, he navigates the spaces between these places, inhabiting a language and a poetic tradition thrust upon him at birth. For Cullen, poetry is as much a means of survival and self-invention as it is a form of artーwithout it, where would he be?</p> <p>This edition of Countee Cullen’s <em>Color</em> is a classic of African American literature reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p>“The first taste I had for books came to me from my pleasure in the fables of the <em>Metamorphoses</em> of Ovid. For at about seven or eight years of age I would steal away from any other pleasure to read them, inasmuch as this language was my mother tongue, and it was the easiest book I knew and the best suited by its content to my tender age.” ?Michel de Montaigne</p> <p><em>The Metamorphoses of Ovid</em> (8 AD) is an epic poem by Ovid. Published the same year the poet was sent into exile for the rest of his life, the Metamorphoses are the crowning achievement of the first major poet of the Roman empire. Written in dactylic hexameter, the meter of Homer’s <em>Iliad</em> and <em>Odyssey</em> and of Virgil’s <em>Aeneid</em>, Ovid’s work is an epic poem of transformations, of shape-shifting matter and beings bound to the power of love. Taking as its scope the whole history of the universe from the arrangement of order from chaos to the death of Julius Caesar, the <em>Metamorphoses</em> pays heed to desire’s ability to enact long-lasting and at times irreversible change.</p> <p>The story begins at the very beginning, with the creation of the cosmos out of nothing, of order out of unimaginable chaos. Gods and goddesses have their moment in the sun, mankind is born only to be wiped out by an immense flood, then to rise again. Amidst countless little-known descriptions of war, romance, and change are the timeless tales of Perseus, Jason and Medea, Theseus and the Minotaur, and the labors of Hercules. Icarus soars too close to the sun. Orpheus tragically condemns Eurydice to the underworld. Troy is built and destroyed, the immortal Achilles is killed, and Aeneas sets sail to save his life and lay the foundations for Rome itself. Throughout these interwoven stories of individual and epochal change, Ovid explores the inescapability of love and death, essential themes both shared by all and constitutive of everything that was or ever will be. <em>The Metamorphoses of Ovid</em> is an intricate masterpiece of world literature that stands the test of time just as much as it defines it.</p> <p>This edition of <em>The Metamorphoses of Ovid</em> is a classic work of Roman literature reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Gods and goddesses have their moment in the sun, mankind is born only to be wiped out by an immense flood, then to rise again. Amidst countless little-known descriptions of war, romance, and change are the timeless tales of Perseus, Jason and Medea, Theseus and the Minotaur, and the labors of Hercules. Icarus soars too close to the sun. Orpheus tragically condemns Eurydice to the underworld. Troy is built and destroyed, the immortal Achilles is killed, and Aeneas sets sail to save his life and lay the foundations for Rome itself. Throughout these interwoven stories of individual and epochal change, Ovid explores the inescapability of love and death, essential themes both shared by all and constitutive of everything that was or ever will be. <em>The Metamorphoses of Ovid</em> is an intricate masterpiece of world literature that stands the test of time just as much as it defines it.</p> <p>This edition of <em>The Metamorphoses of Ovid</em> is a classic work of Roman literature reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
