Description

First edition. Set in a wartime bar in New York City, this long poem in six parts deals, in eclogue form, with man's quest to find substance and identity in a shifting and increasingly industrialized world. Written mainly in a modern version of Anglo-Saxon alliterative verse. Written by Wystan Hugh Auden, a British-American poet noted for his stylistic and technical achievement.

Condition

In the original full cloth binding. Externally, very smart with light wear only. Original unclipped dust wrapper is sound with light wear and chipping to the extremities resulting in minor loss to the panel edges. Light sunning to the spine with the odd small mark to the panels. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd pencil annotation. Bookseller's label to the front endpaper.
