Poems.

£750 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

Brooke’s first book of poems, published in an edition of 500 copies. It was an immediate success on publication, establishing his reputation. Edward Thomas in reviewing this book wrote: ‘He is full of revolt, self-contempt, and yet arrogance too … Copies should be bought by everyone over forty who has never been under forty. It will be a revelation.’ Neat contemporary gift inscription to the front free endpaper, faint partial offsetting to edges, edges slightly spotted, spine just a shade faded, paper label a little tanned as usual, otherwise a very good copy indeed.

• Year: 1911
