Description: Poems of Wilfred Owen Author: Owen, Wilfred Title: Poems of Wilfred Owen Publication: London: Chatto & Windus, 1920 Edition: 1st Edition Description: Hardcover. 8.5" x 7". Repaired first edition of the Poems of Wilfred Owen, with the 1920 title page. Unfortunately a previous owner cut out the frontispiece portrait of Owen. A high-quality reproduction has been professionally inserted, with a neat, clear line indicating the repair. Sunning and discoloration to spine, including the paper label. Small tears to top and bottom of spine, bumps and fraying to corners. Minor damage to the fixed endpaper, likely due to the removal of a bookplate. An inscription from a previous owner on the free endpaper documents one reader's reception of Owen's poetry shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor and the United States' entry into the war: 'To, R.L.P., Anno Domini - Dec 21, 1941. Out of this embattled time, these crucial hurts, this ageless agony, / Surely will emerge, the long sought, the lovely, and enlightened age. Robert F. Pepper'. Offsetting on the half-title, browning of half-title, discoloration to the verso acknowledgments and the title page where they faced the tissue guard of the missing frontispiece. Introduction by Sigfried Sassoon, Preface, Contents, Poems, 23 poems over 33 pages, colophon of Morrison and Gibb, Ltd, Edinburgh, flyleaf, endpaper. The fixed endaper has another inscription, 'R.F.P. "Soljaus" Laguno Chapala'. . Good.
