Hopkins (Gerard Manley) Poems... edited by Robert Bridges first edition of Hopkins` first book original photogravure portrait and facsimiles original buckram-backed blue boards with printed label on spine spine and label slightly darkened and rubbed light overall soiling otherwise a near fine copy [Dunne A38] 8vo 1918. *** “This book was published in an edition of 750 copies. Of these 50 were given away; 180 were sold in the first year; 240 in the second; then an average of 30 a year for 6 years rising to 90 in 1927. The last four copies were sold in 1928. The price was 12s. 6d. It is now scarce and the few copies which appear for sale or auction command very high prices.” “Robert Bridges...on whom the poet had relied to keep treasure and conceivably publish the poems after Hopkins`s death believed that they must be printed and was soon planning an edition with a short memoir. Delay was caused by his respect for the private nature of the letters by his feeling that Hopkins`s melancholia should not be publicly exposed and by fear that the public would not understand the peculiarities of the verse. He gradually introduced small groups of the poems into anthologies but it was not until 1916 that he received the public encouragement for which he was waiting. The sensitive handsome and almost complete small edition edited and largely designed by Bridges was published at the end of 1918.” (DNB)
