About This Item
London: Archibald Constable And Company, 1894. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. First UK edition of Stanton's breakthrough collection whose poetry had been "seized upon" according to Joel Chandler Harris in his preface, by the English literary weeklies "as something new and striking. The result of this is that the phenomenal popularity of Mr Stanton' verses in this country [US] finds a hearty echo in Great Britain." Light toning to stock and minor spotting to endpapers but in general VG internal order throughout. Attractive bookplate of John Fairweather to front pastedown and his signature neatly to fep. Tight binding with gilt to top edge of block. Smart red cloth with bright gilt titling, only lightly worn and a little faded to spine. 12mo. xiv, 237pp + (incongruously) US publisher's catalogue to rear.

About Dodman Books
Formerly Journobooks, my original speciality was books about journalism, journalists, newspapers and other media (hence the name) and I still have a good stock of hard-to-find books in that field. Over time I have added a wide and eclectic variety of other collectible volumes alongside a general secondhand stock. I am a collector as well as a seller so know all about the pitfalls of online buying as well as the joys. I will try to make your buying experience as easy and as pleasant as possible.
