CATHOLIC ANTHOLOGY 1914 - 1915.
[Pound, Ezra ( ed)]:
London: Elkin Mathews, 1915. Decorated tan boards, printed in black after a design by Dorothy Shakespear. Spine a bit darkened, with thin strip of faint discoloration along a portion of the upper joint and shallow surface rubbing through the paper to the cloth at spine crown and toe, endsheets slightly darkened, with a few spots of foxing to the front endsheets. Though not at the level of the exceptional copy sold from our catalogue 247, this is a decidedly above average, very good (and internally about fine) copy. Cloth clamshell box, with morocco label. First edition. One of five hundred copies printed. Includes the first appearance in book form of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" and other poems by T.S. Eliot, marking his first appearance in book form apart from his 1910 appearance in the Harvard Class Day pamphlet. Yeats's "The Scholars" also appears here for the first time in book form, in company with poems by Douglas Goldring, Alice Corbin, Orrick Johns, Alfred Kreymborg, Edgar Lee Masters, Harriet Monroe, Harold Monro, Carl Sandburg, Allen Upward, William Carlos Williams, Ezra Pound, and John Rodker. Pound served anonymously as the editor of this front-rank modernist anthology WADE 309. GALLUP (ELIOT) B1. GALLUP (POUND) B10. WALLACE B2.
