A Selection of Letters to Edward Garnett. [With an introduction by Alan Anderson]

Descripción

Pale green wrappers. Spine slightly faded, lower cover very slightly creased at top. Edition limited to 175 numbered copies. Letters addressed to his mentor and friend Edward Garnett - later editor of the Gregynog Press's Selected Poems of Edward Thomas (1927). "I am doubtful about the chiselling you advise," Thomas writes, Monday, [1915]. "It would be the easiest thing in the world to clean it all up & trim it & have every line straightforward in sound & sense, but it would not really improve it. I think you read too much with the eye perhaps. If you say a couplet like 'If they had mowed their dandelions & sold them fairly / they could have afforded gold -' I believe it is no longer awkward . . ." The Tragara Press's first title by Edward Thomas was A Third-Class Carriage (40 copies, 1967), issued on the 50th anniversary of his death. Halliwell A75. N° de ref. del artículo TR200360
