Cloth. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Poor. Centenary Edition. Hardback. FEP and BEP removed. Wear, tear and marks to D/J. Alice Meynell Esteemed the poetry of her middle and later years beyond that of her girlhood; a judgement with which the present editor concurs out of more that filial piety. Therefore, he places first in the book, according to her known wish, the poems of her maturity and age. These are followed by her early poems, here arranged in three divisions: those which she herself wished, or was persuaded, to reprint in her first Collected Edition (1913); those which through printed in Preludes (1875) or in periodicals, she later rejected from 'collected' editions; and those which she herselv refrained from publishing, but which were retrived from an early MS for the Oxford edition of 1940. To these very early pieces I think her readers have a right which the order of this reconciles with my mother's right to the clear labelling of them as self-rejected. In some instances they will add to her stature as a poet, in most as a critic. There are two poems which defy these categories, Renouncement was written before 1875, but not printed till 1882 nor collected until 1893; Singers to Come was printed in a magazine in 1877 but not collected till 1893. I place them where Alice Meynell chose to place them out of their time.

This in turn was enlarged, in October 1930, and redecorated by T. L. Poulton. In October 1936 a new series of decorations were made by John Dronsfield, and in 1939 an edition was issued decorated by Edward Bawden. The present edition is being issued as a Service Edition, without any decorations. The total sales of all editions exceed two hundred thousand copies.'
