A propos de cet article

Octavo, blue cloth with morocco label lettered in gilt. Advance copy, with publisher's notice affixed to the free front pastedown. Stead's own copy, filled with copious annotations, along with a 2-page manuscript poem, "The Sweet Miracle," in Stead's hand, with variant text; accompanied by two lengthy autograph letters from Edmund Blunden, October 3, 1920, and August 23, 1921, to Stead, approximately 500 words, discussing Stead's meeting with W.B. Yeats, as well as a careful analysis of "The Sweet Miracle," which Blunden called "magnificent. I can't think of any religious narrative, in verse, which has moved me so much."
