Selected Poems of Adam Lindsay Gordon
Sydney, Angus and Roberson. 1980, Reprint. Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Publishers original grey boards with gilt lettering to spine. Dustwrapper: unclipped, now protected in Brodart. White endpapers, no inscriptions. 358pp including index. Pages clean and bright in firm binding. First published in 1903, this book contains the first stirrings of a national school of Australian poetry. Gordon's poems are predominantly poetry of action and human passion; his sometimes naive, sometimes ironic comments on life may be largely the result of early experience - a moody sensitiveness that developed into melancholia, and finally caused him to end his life. Gordon was the first Australian poet to be read by the ordinary man. Very Good/Fine/Very Good/Fine.
