Seller's Description:
Very Good. 4to-over 9¾"-12" tall. Published December 1927. Turquoise swirling patterned boards w/subtly textured gilt overlay accent, dk. blue-green cloth spine wrap, gilt embossed spine titles, moderate shelf, corner wear, spine sunning. Fine linen pages, sharp; no writing. Uniquely cut at top, bottom and deckled at bottom edges. Near very good example of this scarce volume. "In 1926 Mr. Noel Douglas brought out a replica of the original issue of the Poetical Sketches, while these poems are admirably edited by Dr. Keynes in his monumental Blake. But the Sketches have been comparatively neglected as a separate publlication, and I should like to do something towards restoring the balance. While it is hoped that the Introduction will not be wholly useless, I feel that this is an excellent opportunity to stress a hitherto insufficiently treated aspect of Blake's verse by asking Mr. Jack Lindsay to write an essay on the metric of William Blake. Blake's rhythmic effects have undoubtedly influenced English poetry since 1850 to a very considerable extent. Readers will prehaps find pleasure in detecting Blake's influence on Mr. Lindsay's prose." December 1, 1927. E. P. Printed by The Westminster Press, 4112 Harrow Road, London, W.9. XXIV introductory pages and 86 pages. Insured post.
