Los 82 | Poems
DICKINSON, Emily (1830-1886). Poems. Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1890.

First edition of the poet’s first book, a landmark of American literature. A recluse throughout most of her life, Dickinson's Poems were published posthumously in a small edition of 500 copies on 12 November 1890, edited by Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Mabel Loomis Todd. Aside from a small circle of family and friends, her poetry did not circulate in her lifetime and this publication gave Dickinson's work its first public exposure. The volume proved to be popular, and two more printings were required before the end of that year. Myerson's Binding B. BAL 4655; Myerson A1.1.a.

Octavo. (Title and first contents leaf loose.) Grey and white publisher’s cloth stamped in gilt, silver floral motif, top edge gilt (a little spotting to covers). Custom chemise and slipcase. Provenance: Mary Agnew (gift inscription).
