The publisher's original stiff card dust-jacket over plain wrappers presents cleanly, showing only minor age-toning to the extremities and faint, superficial shelf-wear along the spine. Internally, the binding remains perfectly tight, while the pages are bright, crisp, and completely free from foxing or spotting, making this a highly attractive and well-preserved example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"540\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: First edition, first printing.

Yeats and Wilfred Owen. Combining a poet's sensitivity to form with incisive critical analysis, Watkins examines the contrasting ways in which these two writers navigated the intersections of conflict, myth, and the profound responsibilities of the artist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55246488240467,"sku":"5977","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261006_125229.jpg?v=1791388880","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/yeats-owen-two-essays-vernon-watkins-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
