Sobre este artículo
London: Faber and Faber Limited,, 1963. Warmly inscribed First edition thus, first impression, inscribed by the author on the title page: "Inscribed in deep affection to an old and valued friend, Marge Cohn, by T. S. Eliot, 26.ix.63". This edition expands on Eliot's previous collected poems (1932), and is the first to include his Four Quartets and several "occasional verses". Marguerite Cohn and her husband, Louis, were the proprietors of House of Books in New York, early specialist dealers in modern literature. The Cohns and the Eliots were friends and correspondents; the Cohns' stateside apartment was used to host Eliot's interview for the Paris Review in 1959, and they published him in their Crown Octavos Series, a run of signed books by poets they were close with, including Robert Frost and Marianne Moore. Octavo. Original blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Housed in a custom black cloth slipcase and chemise. A few trivial marks to top edge; jacket spine very slightly faded with a couple of tiny nicks to head, still remarkably bright, unclipped: a fine copy in near-fine jacket.
Sinopsis
There is no more authoritative collection of the poetry that Eliot himself wished to preserve than this volume, published two years before his death in 1965. Poet, dramatist, critic, and editor, T. S. Eliot was one of the defining figures of twentieth-century poetry. This edition of Collected Poems 1909-1962 includes his verse from Prufrock and Other Observations (1917) to Four Quartets (1943), and includes such literary landmarks as The Waste Land and Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats .
