Rare Robert Schoenlank has collected English literature, especially poetry, for more than twenty years. The collection spans the 16th through the 20th centuries and includes some very remarkable and rare titles. His collection is especially rich in titles from the exhibition catalogue, English Poetry, compiled by John Hayward, a noted English scholar, in 1947. The Schoenlank auction will consist of 225 lots.
