About This Item
Martin Secker,, [1917]. 8vo., Third Issue, Second State, on laid paper; original blue cloth, gilt back, backstrip moderately sunned (but all gilt just legible); a very good, clean copy of a scarce work. Thomas's studies of the love poems of English Poets from Chaucer to Shelley; essentially a revised version of Chapter VIII of 'Feminine Influence on the Poets' (1910). The work was first published with this title in 1911 with a second issue (probably) in 1916. The third issue (1917) appeared without the portrait frontispiece; the second state of this issue (as here) also omitted the eight-page memoir of Thomas by John Freeman. The work is scarce in any issue. Eckert, p.220.
