Category: First Edition, Poetry

Place/Publisher/Date:
London, Martin Secker. 1928.

Description: First edition; two volumes; 8vo; original cloth boards lettered in gold; top edges trimmed and stained green; fore and bottom edges untrimmed, pages unopened; original dust jackets. This is the first trade edition of the collected edition of the poems, following the original limited numbered signed edition of 100 copies. Lawrence revised several of these poems, all of which had appeared in previous compilations, for this edition he arranged them in chronological order of their composition, in order that they would "make up a biography of an emotional and inner life". Roberts A43a. Both volumes are very good with slight browning to endpapers. The fragile and relatively scarce dust jackets are also very good, showing slight chipping to heads of spines and slight browning to spines and right edge of front panel of both volumes. A nice set.
