About this Item
Hardy, Thomas. ORIGINAL HOLOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT, SIGNED of his poem, "THE TWO ROSALINDS", 3pp. 4to, n.p., n.d. [1909]. Hardy's fair copy submitted to the publisher, consisting of twelve quatrains written on the rectos of 3 sheets of ruled paper, with some small stains and fingerprints suggesting its use as printer's copy for the first English printing; a small marginal tear at foot of each page repaired with adhesive tape, a little edge-worn, otherwise in very good condition indeed. "The Two Rosalinds" was Hardy's nostalgic poem about an actress who played the part of Rosalind (in Shakespeares "As You Like It") forty years earlier. It was first printed in "Collier's" (New York), 20 March 1909, p. 24, and then in "The English Review", April 1909, pp. 1-3. This is the manuscript prepared for the latter. Together with original pages 1-6 detached from "The English Review" of April 1909 containing the full text of Hardy's "London Nights", comprising "The Two Rosalinds" and "Reminiscences of a Dancing Man" along with the original front cover of the magazine. First book publication took place in Hardys 94-poem collection Time's Laughingstocks (1909) where "The Two Rosalinds" appeared as third poem in the order. In a half morocco slipcase. From the collection of Frederick B. Adams, Jr., with his bookplate. Seller Inventory # 003474
