About this Item
LASCELLES, John. X.Y.Z. and Other Poems. [5], 2-50pp. Title-page in orange and black. A near fine copy in original decorative card covers. 8vo. The Leadenhall Press. 1894 Very scarce publications by a little-known author, of whom we can find no further details apart from other press notices. There is a leaf of prefatory press reports in â The Great Drama' for X.Y.Z "Mr Lascelles indicates with singular, it might be almost said mordant, power suggestions of the dismal side of the relation of the sexes [Brighton Herald]. â Altogether a most remarkable book" [Whitehall Review], and then one from the Author himself ". very remarkable for their strength and originality. They are sometimes even startling." The cover illustration is explained in a verse on each title-page. "Light and Darkness; good and evil; Through life's mazes run! On man's pathway crawls the serpent; shines the rising sun!" But as one reviewer noted: "But why did he bind it in such a glaring manner!" [Glasgow Herald, 1894]. Seller Inventory # 161175
