About This Item
New York, Toronto: Oxford University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1940. New Edition; First. Hardcover. Exceptionally nice copy, scarce in the original slipcase. Blue cloth with gold lettering and decorative boarder on the spine (title only on the cover). The still attractive boarder is rubbed and faded; the top edge retains the original light blue stain but has a small brown (tea?) stain on the headband into the near text edge; the text is darkly toned between two pages (1114, 1115) from bk mark. The first 25 pages have the front corner tip creased (progressively decreasing). The slipcase is sturdy with the original paper paste title in near fine condition. Overall scuffed, and all the edges of the slipcase are worn, some varmint nibbles on top edge. First published in 1900, this anthology of English poetry, was carried throughout the British Empire and during the WWI. However, in 1939, "the editor revised it, deleting several poems that he regretted including and adding instead many poems published before 1901 as well as poems published up to 1918." ; Small 8vo 7½" - 8" tall; xxvii, 1172 pp. pages .
