Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967)

Twelve Sonnets. 1911

SASSOON, Siegfried (1886-1967). Twelve Sonnets. London: [Privately printed for the author at the] Chiswick Press, [1911].



First edition, one of only 35 copies. This volume reprints 10 poems from Sonnets (1909) and adds another two that were previously unpublished, namely ‘The Dead Arising’ and ‘Goblin Revel’. 'It was characteristic of [Sassoon] that nearly every little book he then wrote was privately printed. Poetry was for him just something for private and particular enjoyment—like a ride alone before breakfast’ (War Poems of Siegfried Sassoon, 2012). Keynes A5.



Quarto (187 x 145mm). Original stiff blue paper wrappers (slightly faded, a few small nick at extremities).
