Description:
Oxford: Thos. Shrimpton and Son, 1878. First Edition. Sewn binding. Very good +. Octavo, 16pp. First and only issue, with the Oxford crest on the front wrapper and title page (there were pirated editions that lacked these). A nice, sound copy, internally lovely, with the original grey-green wrappers expertly backed onto sympathetic archival paper. Overall very good or better. A fragile publication, and among the most elusive of Wilde volumes. The Newdigate Prize, awarded since 1806, is given to the best composition in English verse by an undergraduate student at Oxford. A strong effort right out of the gate from the short-lived but highly influential Anglo-Irish writer. Mason 301.

The inspiration for Wilde's prize-winning poem came on a "vacation ramble" to Italy in 1877 with the precentor and junior dean of Trinity College, Dublin, William Mahaffy. According to the review published the next day in The Oxford and Cambridge Undergraduate's Journal Wilde's recitation of it at Oxford was "listened to with rapt attention and frequently applauded" (Ellman, p. 94).
