Zustand: FINE. Vintage hardcover. Hope's second book of poetry, originally published in 1903. She spent almost all of her adult life in India, and her writing "steeped in the Indian landscape and Sufi symbolism, often assumes the voices of Indian dancers and slaves to engage themes of passionate love and loss. Her first collection, The Garden of Kama (1901), was initially presented as a translation and arrangement, rather than the original poetry it was later revealed to be." While her work was very popular at the time, they would not have been considered proper for a woman to write, thus the adoption of a male pen name. In an attractive red cloth binding with a stylish art deco illustration on the front cover, gilt lettering on the spine. 152 pp. Very near fine in a very good example of the uncommon dustjacket. with some toning to the spine, minor edgewear.
