Le Gallienne admired Lane’s aptitude for gathering promising young writers such as Cosmo Monkhouse. In December 1889 he wrote to Lane saying “ Corn and Poppies is a title I like much [;] it is full of suggestion”. It includes the mournful “Dead March” described by his biographer in the DNB, Austin Dobson, as “stately” and “his highest effort”. Nelson, BH. 1890.4/6. Attractive bookplate of William MacDonald MacKay on verso of front free endpaper. A very good copy.
