About This Item
London: Faber & Faber, 1943. 1st. hardback. Very good, 1st edition, with unclipped d/j (fair, tears and rough repairs but intact); grey boards with red/gilt pressed decoration and spine titling good; text block firm, untrimmed pages unmarked and clean (only tanning on endpapers).. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). Walter de la Mare was among the leading proponents of the so-called 'Georgian' poets, a loose assembly of influential literary friends who gathered in London in the years leading up to the First World War. Concerned with a refinement of sensibility - in feeling, in expression and in particular in regard to the natural world - the Georgians tapped a popular vein that de la Mare first embraced then later distanced himself from. This engaging assembly of verse and prose, first published in 1943, is de la Mare's vivid survey on love and sensibility, and contains, in his words, 'many of the supreme lyrics in the language'.
