The publisher's original brown paper-covered boards remain structurally sound and present beautifully, showing only the standard handling wear expected of a delicate pre-war binding. The gilt titling to the spine and the red-and-gilt 'P.B.' crest on the upper board remain unoxidised and reasonably bright. There is some minor bowing to the boards and light rubbing along the extremities, with slight fraying and micro-chipping visible at the spine head and tail, yet the binding remains tight and square. The text block's untrimmed deckle edges are intact but exhibit moderate age-toning and foxing, which extends marginally into the preliminary pages, notably the half-title and title pages. Internally, the pages are otherwise clean and well-preserved, featuring a factual, standard previous ownership inscription to the front endpaper. Overall, a highly authentic and resilient surviving copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/strong\u003e: This is a true first edition of the inaugural anthology that launched the \"Georgian\" poetry movement. The volume is bound in the primary brown paper-covered boards and features the distinctive red shield logo on the front panel. The prefatory note marks the beginning of a deliberate stylistic shift in early twentieth-century verse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe anthology curates the vital early work of legendary literary figures, notably including Rupert Brooke, D.H. Lawrence, and W.H. Davies. As the true first printing, this remains a scarce and desirable volume on the open market, capturing a defining moment of pastoral clarity and romanticism prior to the First World War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eBlurb: A cornerstone of 20th-century British literature, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"57\"\u003eGeorgian Poetry 1911-1912\u003c\/i\u003e captures a pivotal transition in English verse. Published by the legendary Poetry Bookshop, this inaugural anthology rebelled against late-Victorian excesses by championing accessibility, lyrical beauty, and pastoral simplicity. Showcasing the early brilliance of poets like Rupert Brooke, W.H. Davies, and D.H. Lawrence, this collection heralded a vibrant, albeit brief, new era in poetry that fundamentally shaped the modern literary landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54362773324115,"sku":"4679","price":165.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260717_183939.jpg?v=1784619409","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/georgian-poetry-1911-1912-various-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
