ELIOT, T. S. (1888-1965). Collected Poems 1909-1935. London: Faber & Faber Limited, 1936.

A fine presentation copy of the first edition, inscribed by T.S. Eliot to his friend and Faber director, W. J. Crawley. W.J. Crawley was known amongst his contemporaries for his exceptional skill at judging whether a book would sell, and yet famously argued against William Golding’s Lord of the Flies at the Faber Book Committee in autumn 1953. Eliot’s Collected Poems 1909-1935 was incredibly successful and would be reprinted over twenty times. The book includes many of his most famous poems such as ‘The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock’ and ‘The Waste Land’, as well as the first appearance in any of his collected editions of ‘Ash Wednesday’ and the unfinished poems ‘Sweeney Agonistes’ and ‘Coriolan’.

Octavo. Original cobalt blue cloth, lettered in gold on spine, bottom and fore-edge untrimmed, top edge red, largely unopened (trivial wear to extremities); original printed dust-jacket (short tear along the top of the spine). Provenance: W. J. Crawley (Faber Director; authorial presentation inscription on title: ‘Inscribed in friendship and gratitude to W. J. Crawley by T. S. Eliot’).
