Edward Thomas (1878-1917)

Last Poems. 1918

THOMAS, Edward (1878-1917). Last Poems. London: Selwyn & Blount, 1918.



First edition, in the original dustjacket. In his History of Modern Poetry (1976), David Perkins concluded: ‘Of the poets who died in the War, [Thomas] was, with Owen and Rosenberg, one of the great losses to Literature.’ A contemporary review in the Evening News, quoted on the book’s dustjacket, suggests that ‘the real lover of poetry will not allow this volume to go unread’. Eckert pp.245-246.



Octavo (193 x 125mm). (Paper browned, without the 8pp. publisher’s advertisements.) Original boards, printer paper spine label; original dustjacket (chip to dustjacket at head of spine with loss of a few letters, some other small chips or tears at extremities, lightly marked, faint spots to flaps). Provenance: Cornelius Weygandt (Professor of English Literature at the University of Pennsylvania, 1871-1957; ownership inscription on title dated 6 December 1920).
