First edition of Carter and Pollard’s further research into the forgeries of Thomas J. Wise. The authors examine pamphlets of Swinburne’s poetry published under the imprint of ‘Charles Ottley, Landon & Co’ and expose them as the work of the book-collector and forger Thomas James Wise (1859–1937). The study reveals the extraordinary means used by Wise to use his bibliographical reputation to disguise his forgeries and establish them as authentic.
