Synopsis
Excerpt from The Sentimental Song Book
As anyone who gazes through the pages which fol low can see with half an eye, Mrs. Moore deserved a better fate. It was to save her from the clutch of un warranted oblivion that this book, which represents an attempt to collect all of her published poems, was prepared. Read without any thought of their historical setting, her songs endure the test of true literature by charming the reader. Considered against the back ground which made them possible, they present an interesting and vivid picture of a forgotten period in America's past.

Tackling challenging topics with grace and empathy, this book remains a moving testament to the power of poetry's ability to bring comfort in the face of life's inevitable tragedies.

Soft cover. Condition: As New. No Jacket. We seldom list these "facsimile reprints," both for fear of confusing the unwary and because those who churn out such volumes are seldom very careful about describing precisely what they've reproduced or where they got it. (We relent here since originals can be so pricey.) So far as we can tell, this is a facsimile reprint -- though "blown up" to octavo size -- of the "First Collected Edition" of the poems of Michigan's famous 19th century bad poet, said "collected edition" originally published by Pascal Covici 1928, which ITSELF was incomplete and jumbled. The as-new trade paperback volume in hand reproduces the 1928 Introduction by Walter Blair, which quotes the famous tongue-in-cheek October, 1877 cover letter sent out by publisher J.F. Ryder of Cleveland with HIS edition of Mrs. Moore's work, seeking reviews, which request (as he doubtless anticipated) drew only catcalls and ridicule. We offer two authentic 19th century editions of Julia Moore, separately -- please see either of those listings for more complete bibliographic background. This as-new modern trade paperback reprint counting 158 pp. now reduced from $12. Seller Inventory # 008532
