Established by the surrealist artist Oscar Mellor in the early 1950s and associated with the University of Oxford Poetry Society, the Fantasy Press gained notability for its pivotal role in the emergence of 'Movement' poets, a group that went on to define post-war poetry in Great Britain. Fantasy Press published the early work of many poets associated with the Movement and became renowned for its Fantasy Poets +series. Included here are early works by Philip Larkin, Kingsley Amis, Geoffrey Hill, Thom Gunn, and Elizabeth Jennings amongst others.
72 vols, various formats; numerous issues signed by Oscar Mellor, Bernard Bergonzi's ownership inscription to Fighting Terms, D.J. Enright's ownership inscription to A Form of Words, light foxing across the run, more apparent in earlier issues; four volumes in cloth bindings, A Form of Words lightly soiled and lacking glassine wrapper, otherwise as issued, remaining issues wire-stitched or adhesive-bound in printed wrappers, staples often oxidised with the usual resultant rust-marking, a few issues stamped 'File Copy', housed in four maroon cloth solander boxes, red morocco lettering-pieces to upper cover and spine, marbled edges.
