Wheels Publishing (London); 1918; Noisbn; Rilegato con dorso telato muto; 20,5 × 15 cm; pp. 104; Prima edizione.; Normali segni d’uso e del tempo, sbucciature ai bordi, interno senza scritte; Accettabile (come da foto).; Terzo ciclo della celebre antologia Wheels, progetto modernista curato da Edith Sitwell che riuniva alcune delle voci più radicali della poesia inglese del primo Novecento. Pubblicato nel 1918, in pieno clima postbellico, questo volume rappresenta uno dei momenti più significativi dell’avanguardia poetica britannica: sperimentazione metrica, immagini visionarie e un rifiuto esplicito dei modelli vittoriani. Il Third Cycle è particolarmente rilevante per la presenza di Aldous Huxley, qui con una serie di poesie che in parte erano apparse su rivista ma che trovano in Wheels una delle prime sedi librarie. Accanto a lui compaiono altri autori del cosiddetto Sitwell Circle, rendendo l’antologia un documento fondamentale del modernismo inglese. Indice (autori e sezioni): Osbert Sitwell (London Squares; Clavichords; Metamorphosis; This Generation; Youth and Age; Song of the Fauns); Aldous Huxley (Zoo Celeste; Fatigue; The Merry-Go-Round; Gothic; Evening Party; Beauty); Arnold James (The Exile; The Poet’s Task; God Called Me to His Side; Now from Light of the Sun); Álvaro Vélez Ladrón de Guevara (traduzioni: Two Fragments from the Spanish); Sacheverell Sitwell (Fables; Fountains; Psittachus…; Whitsun; Pindar; Outskirts); Iris Tree (Rebellion; Confessional; Rose; Analysis; Revision; Romance; Gourmet; Return; Islands); Sherard Vines (Predestination; Clerk’s Song; Sunrise; Little Mother of Sorrows; Pandemos; A New Ballad of Dives and Lazarus; The Prophet; A Song for Grocers; War-Strike); Edith Sitwell (Sugar for the Birds – Singerie; The Avenue; The Blackamoor Goes to Hell; Switchback; Falsetto Song; Myself on the Merry-Go-Round; Stopping Place; Apricot Jam; Song from "The Queen of Palmyria"; Two Nocturnes).; Scheda a cura di Equilibri libreria.
