A propos de cet article

Small 8vo. Green cloth with gilt lettering, dust jacket. 133pp. Frontispiece. Near fine/near fine. Binding spine faintly rubbed; touch of age toning to endpapers from jacket flap contact; jacket spine (only) mildly age toned, else completely free of edge tears and chips and quite lovely. Handsome, bright and tight later printing of this popular collection first published in 1900 and opening with his most famous poem, the social protest piece "The Man with the Hoe" -- inspired by Jean-François Millet's painting of the same name, used here as the book's frontispiece. Large author inscription and signature on front flyleaf: "My dear Wm. J. Sherfold: / Here is the book that was / a witnessing to the rights / of the humiliated and the / wronged. / Edwin Markham / August, 1926." Accompanied by a superb content from the prolific poet's son, VIRGIL MARKHAM (1899-1973), an educator and crime fiction writer who published nine novels between 1926 and 1935. 1p, 8½" X 11", New York, NY, 1 April 1940. Addressed to Arnold F. Gates (1914-93, noted Lincoln/Civil War scholar). Near fine. Markham admirer Gates sent the poet's son a condolence card after the poet died on March 7, 1940, at age 87, and less than a month after his passing the son sent this poignant, heartfelt report tribute about his father. Reads in part: "The world is indeed a lonelier place since he has gone, but for him death was a boon, a bountiful release after years of illness. Fading memory and enfeebled strength had left him for many months only the ghost of the man he had been, and it was sad to see him wandering bewilderedly about the house in which he had lived for over thirty years, a house grown strange to him. Yet his strong heart never seemed willing to give up. Only a day or two before his last illness, his doctor had said he might go on living for another year or two. We can be glad he was spared that further hardship." Signed large and bold at the close. A great copy of the poet's book inscribed with a powerful sentiment about his famed poem's meaning together with a moving letter from his son describing his father's last years.…
