Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967)

Sonnets. 1909

SASSOON, Siegfried (1886-1967). Sonnets. [N.p.]: Privately printed [for the author], 1909.



First edition, one of approximately 50 copies, annotated by the author with corrections to 5 poems. This work was based on the Sonnets and Verses which had been printed for Sassoon earlier in the year in an edition of c.35 ordinary and three special copies, before all but one of the ordinary copies were destroyed by the author 'in a fit of self-criticism' (Keynes A3). Eleven of the poems were reprinted in this edition (together with six new poems), which Sassoon described as 'drastically revised and rather sumptuously reprinted from the destroyed edition' (The Weald of Youth, London: 1942, p. 87). Keynes A4.



Quarto (258 x 191mm). Title and text printed in red and black (faint spotting at endpapers). Original cloth-backed blue boards (a little marked).
