Beschreibung

Wrappers, in R. & J. Balding Books envelope (a little dusty and creased; inscribed "author thinks it should fetch a good price"). Some very mild foxing on covers. Inscribed by the author on the title-page, "Charles Tomlinson Jan 78", with his autograph correction on p.272 ("stretchered" for "stretched"), and with an autograph correspondence card signed from him inserted, University of Bristol, 26 January 1978. The author's first book. "I enclose this booklet towards the Wordsworth Heritage Appeal. It is now difficult to obtain, it is a first edition & my first appearance in print. To judge from its price in catalogues, it may be of some use to you . . ." In January 1978 an advertisement appeared in the Personal Columns of The Times: "What about that donation you were going to send to THE WORDSWORTH HERITAGE APPEAL[?] Would you find it easier to send us a book or two?" The Edinburgh booksellers R. & J. Balding were preparing a "special catalogue", funds to go towards the £563,000 needed for new museum and library buildings at Dove Cottage. Tomlinson followed Relations and Contraries with The Necklace (Fantasy Press, 1955) and, his first mainstream publication, Seeing is Believing (New York: McDowell Obolensky, 1958; Oxford University Press, 1960). Oxford University Press produced Selected Poems in 1978, Collected Poems in 1985 and a new Selected Poems in 1997; Carcanet were responsible for New Collected Poems (2009).
