MACBETH, George.
A Form of Words.
Oxford, Fantasy Press, 1954.
The Fantasy Press ran from 1951 to 1962, publishing two of MacBeth's poetry collections as well as collections, anthologies, and pamphlets of work created by undergraduate and graduate poets at Oxford (including early work by Philip Larkin, Elizabeth Jennings, and Geoffrey Hill).
The ownership inscription on the front endpaper likely indicates this edition was owned by the English playwright, screenwiter, and novelist, Julian Mitchell FRSL (1935-present), who began studying at Oxford in 1955 and collected poetry by Larkin and others.
