Sassoon, Siegfried ~ Four Poems

Cambridge: Reprinted from 'The Cambridge Magazine', : 1918

Reprints from The Cambridge Magazine, No. 7, January, 1918. The only separate printing. 2 conjugate paper leaves, unbound as issued by 'R.I. Severs, Hobson Passage, Sidney Street and sold at the office 6 King's Parade Cambridge. 1918'. The pamphlet is in Very Good++ or better condition with a little dustiness and minor creasing to the edges. The 'Cambridge Magazine', edited by C.K. Ogden, was the first organisation to publish Sassoon's anti-war poems, starting with 'The Redeemer' in April 1916. It was very much an anti-war publication and Sassoon repeatedly used them to publish verse that no-one else would handle, having been introduced by his friend Edward Dent, and in total they published 26 poems of his during and immediately after the war. The 'Reprints from the Cambridge Magazine' series totalled seven in all, three of which were by Sassoon, comprising 'The Redeemer', 'To any Dead Officer', and the present title. The series was organised by A.T. Bartholomew, and Keynes believed that there were 200 to 250 copies printed. A very scarce item, consisting of four of Sassoon's most disillusioned poems on the war: 'Dreamers', 'Base Details', 'Does It Matter' and 'Glory of Women'. Protected in an archival pamphlet holder

BINDING: Pamphlet
CONDITION: Very Good++
