(Hilda Doolittle) and her patron and lover Bryher (Winifred Ellerman) selected and published the title without Moore’s input. Moore and H.D. had been classmates at Bryn Mawr College, and many of the poems in this collection first appeared in the Egoist journal, at which H.D. had been the literary editor until 1917. Octavo. Original stitched red and black printed wrappers, titles to label to front. Housed in a custom card chemise. Small bookplate of David Garnett to front pastedown. A little rubbing to spine ends, slight cockling to front, lightly foxed, else remarkably fresh and sharp. A very good copy indeed. ¶ Abbott A1. £750 [150567]
