About this Item
4to (27 cm), 95 pp printed on blue-grayish paper, 6 costume design by Peter Bucknell. Publisher's blue silk boards and slip-case. Introduction by Basil Dean. "Once almost lost to obscurity, this forgotten gem of a play is gorgeously illustrated by Peter Bucknell and bound in art silk. Though it evokes the world of The Arabian Nights, Hassan was written just before the First World War, by a young English poet. Like Edward Fitzgerald?s Rubáiyát, Hassan is full of the seductive and heady imagery of the fabled East: nightingales and cypresses, wine and roses, dust and scimitars. With its tragedy and heartbreak, it echoes Flecker?s own life. Hassan was his last work, and he did not live to see its first successful performance in 1923: he died of tuberculosis in a sanatorium in Davos, Switzerland, in 1915.". Seller Inventory # 004948
