Contact seller4-star sellerHardcover. First edition. Octavo. (8), 11, (1)pp. Unopened. Quarter black cloth with paper spine label over yellow boards. Title and each leaf of text within a woodcut border. Illustrated with one double-page plate. The boards are soiled and the paper spine is a bit chipped. Though internally clean and unopened, this copy lacks…the original slipcase. Countee Cullen uses the traditional structure of the medieval ballad to retell a legend about an English lord who must choose between a Black bride and a white one, with deadly results. In a letter, the author described the poem as "quite a gruesome affair with no less than three murders in it. It is founded on an old song which every colored Kentuckian knows." (OCLC) Countee Cullen (1903-1946) was an African-American poet and part of the Harlem Renaissance. In 1925 he won the Witter Bynner Poetry Prize and this book is dedicated to Witter Bynner.
