Beschreibung
Small 8vo. Grey paper over boards with front and rear board paper labels. 207pp. Very good. Binding rather edgworn and age toned, with front paper label showing some tiny chips -- else internally tight and near fine. A tight, fairly nice first edition of the first book by the Illinois poet (1868-1950) best known for the 1915 "Spoon River Anthology." Even better, the front flyleaf is inscribed and signed large and bold in black ink by Masters' wife: "For Amy Peirce / from / Helen Jenkins Masters / May, 1905." (Presumably Peirce inked the checkmarks alongside ten poem titles in table of contents.) Helen Jenkins Masters (1874-1958) was the first of the poet's two wives; they wed in 1898 and produced three children and much unhappiness before Masters' former law partner Clarence Darrow represented her in their 1922 divorce. Very scarce and quite desirable. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 47122
