'In including all the existing material the editors recognise that they are publishing much, both in verse and in prose, which Rosenberg would have destroyed or recast had he lived. They do so in the belief that many readers who already appreciate Rosenberg's achievement will prefer to form their own conception of his developing personality rather than to accept an impression conveyed by selective editing.' Somewhat marked outwardly and moderately bumped to extremities, the spine and (less so) part of the lower panel faded, the half-title spotted towards its head edge, otherwise just the very occasional instance of mild soiling internally.

Our vanity loves to subdue--battle, aggressive. How we despise those older and duller--we want life, newness, excitement. (Isaac Rosenberg, circa 1916) ***'Isaac Rosenberg (25 Nov 1890 - 1 Apr 1918) was an English poet and artist. His "Poems from the Trenches" are recognized as some of the most outstanding poetry written during the First World War. On 21 Mar 1918, the German Army started its Spring Offensive on the Western Front. A week later, Rosenberg sent his last letter with a poem "Through These Pale Cold Days" to England before going to the front lines with reinforcements. Having just finished a night patrol, he was killed on the night of 1 Apr 1918 with another ten KORL soldiers; there is a dispute as to whether his death occurred at the hands of a sniper or in close combat. (Wiki) ***An original first edition of the "Collected Works" of Isaac Rosenberg. The Collected Works was issued in an edition of 500 copies, with 900 sets of sheets being stored for a potential reprinting at the publisher's bindery - however, only 403 copies had been sold by March 1938, and the remaining unbound sheets were destroyed in April 1941 when the warehouse used by Chatto & Windus was bombed in the London Blitz. As a consequence, copies of this book in any condition are very hard to find now. Of interest to literary academics and collectors of Isaac Rosenberg's work, and the poetry of the First World War. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
