Buckton, A.M. (Alice Mary). - The Burden of Engela. A Ballad-Epic.

Methuen. London 1904 2nd edition. Gilt pictorial navy blue cloth boards. 144pp + 31pp publisher's advertisements. 0.3kg. VG condition. Nice inscription by Author to ffep dd 1921. A collection of verse telling the story of a woman fighter in the Boer War. (Alice Mary Buckton had never been to South Africa). The 1st edition is scarce because a fire at the publishers destroyed a large amount of the edition. This 2nd edition has the same design of boards. Buckton (1867-1944) was an English educator, poet, community playwright, feminist and mystic. Buckton owned the Chalice Well and with others developed the gardens and waters for inspiration and healing. Her Chalice Well Trust ran this subsequent to her death. The entwined trees on the cover of the book recalls the design of the well cover with a similar design surrounding the vesica piscis central form. This was her second book of poetry.
