First edition of this classic comedy, The Cocktail Party.
A major association copy from T. S. Eliot to Ezra Pound, with the author’s presentation inscription to the front free endpaper, “Ez from O. Possum 6. iii. 50.”
This remarkable survival from the chaotic years of Pound’s incarceration at St Elizabeth’s hospital in Washington DC was part of a small group of books which passed through the hands of Eileen Lane Kinney, a member of the inner circle of modernist artists and writers based in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s.
