Publication details: Oxford: Basil Blackwell,1922,
Rare Book
A scarce book of poetry, her debut; Clarke, later a tutor at Cheltenham Ladies' College, had studied Classics at Newnham College, Cambridge, during which years she pursued mystical experiences - one of the poems here, 'Vision of Him', being included in 'The Oxford Book of English Mystical Verse' in 1917, quite an accolade for an undergraduate. Much of the verse is in that vein, though it sometimes stoops to more earthly matters, including a sequence of four sonnets occasioned by the Peace Conference of 1919.
FIRST EDITION, pp. 72, crown 8vo, original quarter natural linen, dark blue boards, printed label to upper board and backstrip, the backstrip with a few faint spots, edges untrimmed with a few faint spots, free endpapers very faintly browned, the flyleaf with contemporary ownership inscription, very good
