About This Item
NY: Blue Ribbon Books, 1942. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. Hard cover in good condition. Text block clean and tight. Former owner's name written inside front cover and there is very light foxing inside front and back covers. Small tear on Page xv. No dust jacket. * From the book, ""I am quite aware that my claim to rank as a major poet, which has not been seriously disputed in this country (England) for at least twenty years, may not have penetrated to America, where my poetry has been persistently boycotted by publishers, but even if I am not a great poet I am surely entitled to common fair play, and even if I behaved foolishly and rashly (and even, perhaps, sometimes wickedly) between forty and fifty years ago am I therefore condemned to be the perpetual scapegoat of all the Pharisees in the world in this year of Grace, 1941?""
