Edward Thomas — Poems

London, Selwyn & Blount, 1917. Hardback. A lovely early edition of this posthumous collection of war poetry from Edward Thomas. Early edition, published just one month after the first.    In the publisher's original paper-backed boards.   Featuring a portrait frontispiece from a photograph by Duncan Williams.   A lovely posthumous poetry collection, collating titles such as "The Sign-Post" and "Adlestrop". From prominent British poet Edward Thomas, who often wrote under the pseudonym "Edward Eastaway". Commonly considered a war poet, in 1915, Thomas enlisted to fight in the First World War and died in battle two years later. In the publisher's original paper-backed boards. Discreet bookseller's plate to the front paste down. Externally, smart with slight bumping and rubbing, leading to minor loss of paper along the spine and further marking, especially to the front board. Internally, firmly bound. Bright and clean with spotting heavier to the first and last few pages. Very Good . Ill.: Duncan Williams. Very Good .
