A propos de cet article

Third impression of the true first edition, published in March 1936. The book was originally published in March 1935. ***Very good in pale green cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine, and a small gilt Hogarth Press monogram to the front board. The boards show some marks and discoloration commensurate with age and handling, and the spine and edges are browned. No bumps or tears to the cloth. Corners sharp. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Top edge of page block darkened, and all edges very lightly foxed. Internally also very good with no previous ownership inscriptions. Light offsetting to the front and rear endpapers. Internal pages clean. No creases or tears. ***In a very good plain buff-coloured printed dustwrapper. The dustwrapper is complete, with no major chips or tears. Very small loss to the head and tail of the spine and corner tips of the dustwrapper. Surface scuff, with one-inch closed tear and associated creasing to the bottom edge of the front panel of the dustwrapper. Spine of dustwrapper slightly darkened. Front and rear panels of dustwrapper bright and clean. ***218mm x 142mm. 156 pages. ***'Cecil Day-Lewis (or Day Lewis) CBE (27 April 1904 - 22 May 1972), often written as C. Day-Lewis, was an Irish-born, British poet and Poet Laureate from 1968 until his death in 1972. In Oxford, Day-Lewis became part of the circle gathered around W. H. Auden and helped him to edit Oxford Poetry 1927. During World War II, Day-Lewis worked as a publications editor in the Ministry of Information for the UK government, and also served in the Musbury branch of the British Home Guard. During the Second World War his work was now no longer so influenced by Auden and he was developing a more traditional style of lyricism. Some critics believe that he reached his full stature as a poet in "Word Over All" (1943), when he finally distanced himself from Auden. After the war he joined the publisher Chatto & Windus as a director and senior editor. In 1946, Day-Lewis was a lecturer at Cambridge University, publishing his lectures in "The Poetic Image" (1947). Day-Lewis was made a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire by George VI in his 1950 Birthday Honours. He later taught poetry at Oxford, where he was Professor of Poetry from 1951 to 1956. During 1962-1963, he was the Norton Professor at Harvard University. Day-Lewis was appointed Poet Laureate in 1968, in succession to John Masefield.' (Wiki) ***'Mr. Day Lewis's poetry has won a high reputation with such rapidity that all the works included in this volume are now out of print in their original form. His first book, "Transitional Poem", was published by the Hogarth Press in 1931; "From Feathers to Iron" followed in 1931, and "The Magnetic Mountain" in 1933. (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A third impression of the true first edition, in its original dustwrapper. It is uncommon to find early impressions in the original dustwrappers now. The first impression, printed in March 1935, consisted of only 620 copies [Woolmer 363] so the third impression may have had a similarly small print run. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
