Le Cahier Jaune: Poems by Arthur Christopher Benson of Eton College
Paperback/booklet, 1892, first edition, privately printed, limited, numbered 163 of 200, 99 pages.
A somewhat worn but scarce copy of this limited private printing of the author's first collection of poems. Tattering, creasing, tearing and chipping to covers, spine and preliminaries. Crude tape repair to inside of front cover, with marking on title page. Slightly dog-eared corners to some pages. Binding strained, though contents all present and intact. Despite the tattered covers and outer pages, inner contents between the preliminaries and hindmost pages in rather good condition, very clean, only the occasional mark and with little wear other than at their very edges. See pictures for further information.
Biographical information about the author from The Famous People website:
Arthur Christopher Benson was an accomplished English author, poet and essayist. A number of his ghost stories have also been published along with stories of the same genre created by his illustrious brothers, Edward Fredric Benson and Robert Hugh Benson. But, he is best known as the author of a particular British patriotic song, 'Land of Hope and Glory'. He lived closed to a renowned Cathedral as his father was the Archbishop of Canterbury. Perhaps this brought out the ecclesiastical influence in his life. Though marred by spells of deep depression right from childhood to his last years, A. C. Benson was a distinguished academic, who became the 28th Master of Magdalene College at Cambridge. His notable works include 'The Upton Letters' and 'From a College Window'. As he was also a notable biographer - he co-edited Queen Victoria's letters. However, A. C. Benson is renowned for his diary entries that he had recorded in about 180 notebooks. The author was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in Britain, and founded the Benson Medal to honour most meritorious works in fiction, poetry, history and "belles-lettres".
