James Elroy Flecker (1884-1915) was an English poet, novelist and playwright. As a poet he was most influenced by the Parnassian poets. He was born in London, and educated at Dean Close School, Cheltenham, where his father was headmaster, and Uppingham School. He studied at Trinity College, Oxford, and Caius College, Cambridge. While at Oxford he was greatly influenced by the last flowering of the Aesthetic movement there, under John Addington Symonds. From 1910 he was in the consular service, in the Eastern Mediterranean. His most widely known poem is "To a Poet a Thousand Years Hence". The most enduring testimony to his work is perhaps an excerpt from "The Golden Journey to Samarkand" inscribed on the clock tower of the barracks of the British Army's 22nd Special Air Service regiment in Hereford. Other works include: The Bridge of Fire (1907), The Last Generation: A Story of the Future (1908), The Grecians (1910), Thirty-Six Poems (1910), Forty-Two Poems (1911), The Scholars' Italian Book (1911), The Golden Journey to Samarkand (1913), The King of Alsander (1914), The Old Ships (1915), Hassan (1922) and Don Juan (1925).

Seller's Description:
Good. The script! In the hard covered edition with demonstrative picture on the front cover but spine is missing part of hardcover. Script flows nicely from beginning to end. Age fade to the covers. The back cover has a slight forward lean. Script is holding and worthwhile. Covers are weak but lovely.
