Item description from seller

George Sterling's brilliant and uncommon fantasy verse drama, scarce to see in the original dust wrapper. The first edition thus, being the first edition with an introduction by Theodore Dreiser, also with revisions to the text.An uncommon work.The second state, with the corrected page 44; originally, a stage direction to this page had been printed upside down, so Macmillan recalled all undistributed copies, cut out page 43/43, and had guled in the corrected page.In the original price-clipped dust wrapper.'Lilith, a Dramatic Poem' is a fantasy verse drama written in blank verse in four acts, considered to be one of the finest works by George Sterling.Sterling was an American author who was much admired by his contemporaries, including Jack London, Upton Sinclair, and Sinclair Lewis. In the original publisher's cloth binding, in the original price-clipped dust wrapper. Externally, smart. Light bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. A few light marks to the cloth, mostly to the front board. Bookseller's label to the rear paste down. Dust wrapper is edge worn, with small chips and closed tears. Larger tear to the tail of the front joint. Light discolouration and handling marks to the wraps. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Very Good Indeed.
