Wallace Stevens (1879-1955)

Harmonium. 1923

STEVENS, Wallace (1879-1955). Harmonium. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1923.



First edition of Stevens’s first book, in the first issue binding and the original dustjacket. Only 500 copies were bound with Curwen patterned paper. ‘Stevens was over forty when his first book, containing much of his best work, was published. He takes delicious liberties with the American idiom, he radiates sensuous happiness and verbal felicity especially in his shorter poems’ (Connolly 46). Edelstein A1.a.



Octavo (209 x 139mm). Publisher’s advertisement loosely inserted. Original blue quarter cloth over coloured ‘Curwen’ paper-covered boards, top edge red; original yellow dust-jacket; partly unopened (minor wear to corners of cloth, dustjacket laid down, a few chips and tears skilfully restored with minor printed loss at head of spine, some fading and soiling). Provenance: Beach’s Bookshop, Indianapolis (bookseller’s label to rear pastedown).
