112/175 COPIES printed on Kelmscott handmade paper, pp. xiii, 77, crown 8vo, contemporary binding of full burgundy morocco by Dulau & Co (their stamp to verso of flyleaf), gilt border to both boards, backstrip lettered in gilt between five raised bands, a little rubbed to extremities with a few light pressure-marks, original brown wrappers bound in, the edges untrimmed and uncut with some light spotting, margins of free endpapers browned from turn-ins, very good. Pseudo-translations concocted by Baring and published under a pseudonym - the first edition of the work, published by Blackwell in 1916 with Baring's identity concealed by the initials 'S.C.' is scarce; it was reissued by Secker under Baring's name in 1918 with 8 new poems, and then here by Heinemann - who finally lifted the veil and added fictitious originals from Mario Praz, André Maurois, Ronald Knox, et al. From the wilful obscurantism of the first edition, where a note explained that he had been unable to trace the originals, there emerges a picture not only of a single author to these fragments but a unifying context that adds considerably to their power - in his Preface to this third edition, an expanded version of the holograph note in that preceding, Baring explains that the pieces (their status as poetry or prose is a matter of ambiguity that is only partially clarified by the back-translated 'originals') were 'written at spare moments during the War'. Whilst at first they were intended to pursue flights of 'fancy' - i.e., a means of escape from the present situation - 'I found myself more and more drawing on my memory, on the realities of the past, and, finally, on the realities of the present: the sights and incidents of everyday life during the War'. The title of the French edition, 'Carnets de guerre d'un officier d'Etat-major', brings this aspect into relief. In the end, then, the brand of translation that is being enacted is not primarily linguistic - although that aspect is developed from a jeu d'esprit into a more sophisticated literary game - but rather one of circumstance, converting the personal experience of the present into a universal experience, not fixable in time but with clear obeisance to a classical model; in this, Baring's hard poetic prose (or is it prosaic poetry?) aligns itself surprisingly with the work and programme of the Imagists; a comparison that neither party could be given to expect - although given its synchronicity with the emergence of that movement, there is the possibility (further encouraged by the use for the first edition of pseudonymous initials - perhaps a nod to H.D.?), that it had originally been intended partly as a pastiche of the sparse classicism found therein.
