Description

First UK edition of Stanton's breakthrough collection whose poetry had been "seized upon" according to Joel Chandler Harris in his preface, by the English literary weeklies "as something new and striking. The result of this is that the phenomenal popularity of Mr Stanton' verses in this country [US] finds a hearty echo in Great Britain." Light toning to stock and minor spotting to endpapers but in general VG internal order throughout. Attractive bookplate of John Fairweather to front pastedown and his signature neatly to fep. Tight binding with gilt to top edge of block. Smart red cloth with bright gilt titling, only lightly worn and a little faded to spine. 12mo. xiv, 237pp + (incongruously) US publisher's catalogue to rear.
