1948 A Celebration for Edith Sitwell
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition of this work.
The less common issue of this work, in a cloth binding, and with an unclipped dust wrapper. One of around fifty copies 'hardbound for review and presentation' by the publisher, although this copy bears no inscription.
Edited by Jose Garcia Villa, this volume includes work by Spender, Stein, Yeats, and Sitwell herself.
It was published on the occasion of Sitwell's 1948 tour of the US alongside her brothers, during which she recited her poetry, and gave a reading of Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking scene.
