The Wild Harp. A selection from Irish Poetry. Illustrated by C.M. Watts.
-
First edition. A poetry anthology edited by Tynan and illustrated by C. M. Watts. Tynan was ideally placed to compile such an anthology, she had been a close associate of W. B. Yeats from the time they first met in June 1885 until around the time of her marriage in 1893, and was a central figure in Dublin literary circles. This would appear to be a deluxe edition of the anthology. Sidgwick & Jackson, like many Edwardian publishers, sometimes produced a small run in superior binding for the gift trade or for presentation copies, using a deeper cloth and gilt blocking where the standard trade edition used black. In addition to poems by William Butler Yeats, A.E., James Stephens etc. this work saw the first appearance of a James Joyce work in an anthology with three poems. ("Strings in the Earth and Air," "At that hour," and "I hear an Army.") The cloth has some bumping to the edges, and bleaching for the colour to the edge and to the rear panel. Slight rubbing to the gilt. Inside, the work is mainly clean and tidy, with a little darkening and slight foxing to the pages. The double title page is printed on high quality art paper and is a beautiful colour Celtic knot work panel. The panel is repeated uncoloured as a surround to each page. xxvi, 160 pages. 24cm x 17cm. .
