About This Item
Aldington: The Hand and Flower Press, 1952. First edition, first issue of Spark's first book of verse, preceding her first novel by five years. Octavo, original wrappers. In fine condition. The Fanfarlo, a symbolist ballad, is the earliest of a set of semi-satirical pieces in prose and verse in which the author develops, imaginatively, certain lines and phrases from Baudelaire's story Le Fanfarlo. In the present poem, the author uses Baudelaire's opening sentence as the 'topic' of her story, which makes an implicit commentary on the Romantic spirit.
