The Child Set in the Midst by Modern Poets.

£60 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

On front pastedown is an attractive notice that “This book is now supplied by Elkin Mathews Vigo St. W.C.“ Contains four poems by Thompson, his first appearance in a book. Meynell’s introduction doesn’t hold back on Thompson “who has eluded fame as long as Shelley did, but cannot elude it longer … a new personality in Poetry, the last discovered of the Immortals.” No pressure on Francis then … Other contemporary poets represented were Cosmo Monkhouse, W. E. Henley, “Graham R. Tomson,“ and Katharine Tynan. A very good copy.
