About this Item

First Edition (first printing) of this anonymous collection of Great War poems by Thomas William Hodgson Crosland, author and journalist more widely known now for the small role he played in events following Oscar Wilde's trial and imprisonment (with Lord Alfred Douglas he persecuted Robbie Ross in the civil courts in a variety of actions and the two unsuccessfully sued Arthur Ransome for libelling Douglas in his 1912 book on Wilde). Small 8vo. 95pp. Red cloth with a tanned and just a little chipped paper spine label. Cloth chafed, dust marked and a little soiled, but, bar some tanning to the half-title and final text leaf, a nice crisp copy internally. Forty-two poems, several of which originally appeared in newspapers and periodicals with the remainder printed here for the first time. Reilly p. 100.
