Good+ An impressive UT Austin-related association copy of this second Ark Press edition of D.H. Lawrence's Look! We Have Come Through! (1959), the cycle of poems celebrating his relationship with Frieda, fondly inscribed to the British poet and UT Austin lecturer Kenneth Hopkins by its illustrator, and Ark Press founder, Kim Taylor (who published under the name Michael Adam), and fellow academic Francis Warren Roberts, a pre-eminent D. H. Lawrence scholar and bibliographer, who commissioned the Ark Press edition and contributed the Introduction. Francis Warren Roberts (1916–1998) played a key role in the development of what later became the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center (HRHRC) at UT Austin, including facilitating the acquisition of material for its stellar D. H. Lawrence collection: during his Fulbright lectureship at the University of Pisa in 1956-8, he'd had the thrill of being offered a box of "manuscripts, letters, photographs, and memorabilia related to Lawrence, [Giuseppe 'Pino'] Orioli, and their circle in Florence" by a bookseller in the city. HRHRC also holds the archive of Kenneth Hopkins (1914-1988), the British poet and novelist, publisher and lecturer. Born in Bournemouth, and apprenticed to a builder's merchant at 14, by 1938 Hopkins was selling his poems door to door, eventually reaching London, where he fell in with the anarchist and publisher Charles Lahr and his circle at the Red Lion Street bookshop. Hopkins went on to found two small presses of his own, Grasshopper Broadsheets (1942-45) and Warren House Press (1969-1988), as well as the Saturdays, a London literary club for poetry appreciation. Kim Taylor (1919-) founded the Ark Press in 1953, with its first completed book being D. H. Lawrence's essay Life (1954), illustrated by Ru van Rossem's wood engravings. The following year Warren Roberts commissioned Taylor to design and print Look! We Have Come Through!, the manuscript of which UT Austin had purchased. Following this successful production, which required a second edition (this one), Harry Ransom, then UT Austin's Vice President, as well as Director of HRHRC, offered Taylor the role of Consultant to the University's publications programme. A neat association copy, then.…
