'I got the title of this book out of one of Blake's MSS. works if I remember rightly. He made a title-page with these words on it but I do not think—no, I know—he never printed the sections. W.B. Yeats. March 8, 1904' (Wade). Only 520 copies of the first American edition of this interesting assortment of essays were printed, all bound with English sheets and bearing the imprint of the London printers Richard Clay & Sons.

With provenance for the American literary critic and essayist F.W. Dupee (1904-1979). A committed Marxist, he was the founding editor of The Partisan Review, and taught at Bowdoin, Bard and Columbia, where he was professor of English.

First American edition; 8vo (20 x 14 cm); ownership inscription in pen to front free endpaper recto, occasional annotations in pencil, paper browned, hinges cracked, restored with tape, London imprint to final leaf verso; publisher's blue cloth, gilt letter to upper cover and spine, fore-edge uncut, cloth worn, spine caps and corners rubbed; vii, [1], 341, [1]pp.

Wade 47.
