Hand-printed by Elizabeth Corbet Yeats in an edition of just 200 copies, it stands as a testament not only to Parnell’s enduring literary legacy but also to the exquisite, artisanal craftsmanship of one of Ireland's most historically significant private presses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53977841959251,"sku":"4202-RM-F-VG-37","price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260605_162228.jpg?v=1781177062"},{"product_id":"poems-leonard-clark-1st-edition","title":"Poems, Leonard Clark — 1st Edition","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePublication:\u003c\/b\u003e London, The Fortune Press, 1940\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFormatting:\u003c\/b\u003e 8vo, pp. 63.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report:\u003c\/b\u003e Very Good. The dark blue cloth boards remain remarkably tight, firm, and clean, showing virtually no shelf-wear. Gilt lettering along the spine remains pleasingly bright and unoxidised. Text block appears securely bound and well-aligned. Original dust jacket exhibits moderate age-toning, dust-soiling, and some surface scuffing commensurate with its age. Slight creasing, a minor closed tear on the front panel, and general rubbing to the jacket's extremities and spine head; however, it remains largely intact without significant loss, presenting highly well as an authentic survivor of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e True first edition of Leonard Clark's debut poetry collection. Typical of R. A. Caton's eccentric but culturally significant Fortune Press productions, the rear panel and inner flaps of the dust jacket are heavily adorned with publisher's advertisements. Most notably, the front flap features a prominent listing for the seminal \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"369\"\u003eThe New Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e anthology, highlighting contributors such as Dylan Thomas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThe volume is unillustrated. Finding a complete 1940 first edition from this publisher that still retains its notoriously fragile original dust jacket in such intact condition is a notable scarcity on the open market, making it an excellent acquisition for collectors of mid-20th-century British poetry and small-press imprints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003ePublished at the dawn of the Second World War, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"54\"\u003ePoems\u003c\/i\u003e marks the inaugural collection from Leonard Clark, an esteemed English anthologist, poet, and Inspector of Schools. Deeply rooted in a profound reverence for the natural world and the undulating English landscape, Clark's early verses reflect a quietly enduring lyricism. His work provides a gentle, reflective, and poignant counterpoint to the global turbulence of the era in which it was printed, showcasing the early voice of a man who would dedicate his life to literature and education.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53977892913491,"sku":"4193-RM-FR-VG-37","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260605_160144.jpg?v=1781178412"}],"url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/collections\/poetry-new.oembed?page=2","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
