Book First Edition
Original Wraps. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket, as Issued. First Edition. Penguin Poets series - Cat. D17. First printing of the true first edition, published in February 1951. A paperback original. ***Near fine in colour-printed thin card wrappers. Covers clean. Edges of wrappers slightly rubbed but uncreased. Spine just slightly browned. No reading creases to the spine. Sewn binding. Spine tight. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. Paper stock lightly tanned. Pages clean. ***128 pages. 180 mm x 110 mm. ***'Few poets of our times stand as high in reputation as C. Day Lewis. For this Penguin selection he has chosen the pieces he likes best, including examples of his earlier work published by the Hogarth Press, and of the later poems published by Jonathan Cape. Day Lewis is the second living poet to appear in a Penguin selection. The first was T. S. Eliot, O.M., and in the autumn of 1951 a volume of Edith Sitwell's poems, chosen by her, will be added to the series.' (Quote taken from 'About this book' on the inside front cover). ***'Penguin originally published poetry in the Pelican series, the first being A17 'A Book of English Poetry' in October 1937. Penguin created a separate Penguin Poets series with a selection of Tennyson in June 1941. This was followed by a second volume by Wordsworth nearly two years later, and it was over three years further on, in December 1946, when the third book 'D3' by Burns was published. The first book Tennyson did not have a number. Wordsworth was numbered simply '2', and it was only from the publication of Burns as 'D3' that the series properly took off. Various styles of cover designs were used. Jan Tschichold (Penguin's first typographer) created the cover style from D5. His successor, Hans Schmoller, designed a new cover format - and from D25 (1954) the Poetry books had their distinctive patterned style. These were designed for and first used in the Penguin Music Score series. Elizabeth Frriedlander was the earliest, and best known of the designers, starting the work in 1949. Penguin Modern Poets became a subset of Penguin Poets and began with D61 in April 1962.

The thin and fragile dustwrapper is remarkably clean and complete, with virtually no loss - just some rubbing at the head of the spine and corner tips. No chips or tears. There is some rubbing and wear to the edges of the dustwrapper commensurate with age and handling. The spine of the dustwrapper is very slightly faded. The light cream colour of the back panel of the dustwrapper is slightly darkened in places. ***77 pages. 206 mm x 138 mm. ***'This is one of the finest, most original and most enjoyable works of poetry published since the war. C. Day Lewis, Professor of Poetry at Oxford, has chosen a form that enables his various gifts to be displayed to advantage and to sustain rapt interest in a poem longer than convention now favours. It is a poem in seven parts: "Dialogue at the Airport"; "Flight to Italy"; "A Letter from Rome"; "Bus to Florence"; "Florence: Works of Art"; "Elegy Before Death: at Settignano"; "The Homeward Prospect". The whole resembles a suite in music; various metres are used, and each part is self-contained, though all are on the same subject -- a journey to and in Italy. The poet has used his first impressions of the country to illustrate certain deeper themes indicated by the epigraph: "---an Italian visit is a voyage of discovery, not only of scenes and cities, but also of the latent faculties of the traveller's heart and mind.' [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ***'Cecil Day-Lewis (or Day Lewis) CBE (27 April 1904 - 22 May 1972), often written as C. Day-Lewis, was an Irish-born, British poet and Poet Laureate from 1968 until his death in 1972. In Oxford, Day-Lewis became part of the circle gathered around W. H. Auden and helped him to edit Oxford Poetry 1927. During World War II, Day-Lewis worked as a publications editor in the Ministry of Information for the UK government, and also served in the Musbury branch of the British Home Guard. During the Second World War his work was now no longer so influenced by Auden and he was developing a more traditional style of lyricism. Some critics believe that he reached his full stature as a poet in "Word Over All" (1943), when he finally distanced himself from Auden. After the war he joined the publisher Chatto & Windus as a director and senior editor. In 1946, Day-Lewis was a lecturer at Cambridge University, publishing his lectures in "The Poetic Image" (1947). Day-Lewis was made a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire by George VI in his 1950 Birthday Honours. He later taught poetry at Oxford, where he was Professor of Poetry from 1951 to 1956. During 1962-1963, he was the Norton Professor at Harvard University. Day-Lewis was appointed Poet Laureate in 1968, in succession to John Masefield.'

This sequence has been led up to by a number of poems which are concerned with the shadow of imminent war. The "Overtures" are followed by a group of poems declaring the need for action and the belief that man is not impotent against war and death but can still reach the heights of his power by helping to change the world. This group reaches its climax in a long narrative poem, "The Nabara", which describes the naval action between three Basque government trawlers and the rebel cruiser "Canarias". The book closes with a miscellaneous group of more personal poems."'
