Robert Frost (1874-1963)

Mountain Interval. 1916

FROST, Robert (1874-1963). Mountain Interval. New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1916.



First edition, first issue, with the duplicate line on p.88. A fine presentation copy inscribed by Frost on front free endpaper: ‘Robert Frost / to / N. N. Wallack’. Mountain Interval ‘marks an advance, a performance and a promise beyond that toward which “A Boy’s Will” and “North of Boston” might have seemed to be converging. A new element is here—a happy undercurrent, a warmer, an even more direct human appeal […] The whole volume is permeated with a new music and mellowness.’ Crane A4.



Octavo (194 x 129mm). Original dark blue cloth; original printed dustjacket; top edge trimmed, other edges uncut (slight wear to a few corners of dustjacket); cloth slipcase. Provenance: Nathan N. Wallack (presentation inscription from the author, his sale Parke Bernet, 1-2 March 1948, lot 145).
