A propos de cet article

First edition, pre-publication issue. Few small spots of foxing to fore-edge of a few leaves, else a fine copy, laid into publisher's stiff printed wrappers (matching the printed dust jacket); wrappers have a very faint crease on front and rear covers, else fine. Laid into the book is 8-page publisher's pamphlet, entitled, *Poetry in the Making Illustrative Material,* and a mimeographed sheet, listing readings by Ted Hughes, and others [as issued, by Turret Books, for the exhibition]. A scarce publication in this pre-publication format. Advance copy, consisting of unbound, unsewn signatures, laid into stiff wrappers [advance copy not noted by bibliographers (see Ted Hughes/ Sagar and Tabor B34 for both the limited and trade editions)]. Tall octavo, unbound signatures, untrimmed [taller, by approximately one-half inch, than final published sheets], 68 pages (illustrated with four leaves of plates, reproducing manuscript material, in holograph facsimile, by Ted Hughes, W.H. Auden, Philip Larkin et al), laid into stiff printed wrappers [matching the printed dust jacket]. Includes Ted Hughes' poem "Mountains," and a fragment of "Sort" (both reproduced in Hughes' holograph facsimile, from the original manuscript)[see S&T B34a]. Also prints biographical sketches, and descriptions of items in the exhibition, including materials by W.H. Auden, Derek Walcott, Dylan Thomas, C. Day Lewis, Philip Larkin et al. Text includes a two-page preface by C. Day Lewis, and "Operation Manuscript" by Philip Larkin (eight-pages).
