About This Item
New York, NY Penguin Classics, 1986. Paperback First Edition Thus [1986]; First Printing, so stated. First published in hardcover by Viking in 1985. First Edition Thus [1986]; First Printing, so stated. Very Near Fine in Wraps: shows only a REMAINDER mark at the bottom edge: the expected very light tanning to the text pages, due to the aging process; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of creases to the panels. Free of creases to the backstrip. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of underlining, hi-lighting, notations, or marginalia. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A handsome, nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing a couple of unobtrusive cosmetic imperfections. Bright and clean. Corners sharp. No longer absolutely pristine, but remains very close to 'As New'. NOT a Book-Club or Ex-Library. 8vo. (7.8 x 5.15 x 0.25 inches). 96 pages. Edited with an Introduction by Eric Robinson and Notes by David Powell. Language: English. Weight: 3 ounces. First published in hardcover by Viking in 1985. Trade Paperback. This is a single, long (2000 lines) poem which had never before been published before the 1985 Viking edition. Although Clare was a devout Anglican the work is a powerful attack on the abuses of the clergy, the dangers of religious fanaticism and religious hypocrisy.
