MILLAY, EDNA ST. VINCENT

The King's Henchman, a Play in Three Acts

NY and London: Harper & Brothers, 1927. 1st Edition. Fourth Printing. Hard Cover. Illustrated by Harry Cimino. First Edition, Fourth Printing (Harper first edition code "E-B" - May, 1927 - on copyright page). Half buckram over blue paper-covered boards, paper label on spine, fore-edge deckle. Woodcut frontispiece by Cimino. Throughout much of her career, Pulitzer Prize-winner Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) was one of the most successful and respected poets in America. She is noted for both her dramatic works, including "Aria da capo," "The Lamp and the Bell," and the libretto composed for an opera, "The King’s Henchman," and for such lyric verses as “Renascence” and the poems found in the collections A Few Figs From Thistles, Second April, and The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1923. Like her contemporary Robert Frost, Millay was one of the most skillful writers of sonnets in the twentieth century, and also like Frost, she was able to combine modernist attitudes with traditional forms creating a unique American poetry. But Millay’s popularity as a poet had at least as much to do with her person: she was known for her riveting readings and performances, her progressive political stances, frank portrayal of both hetero and homosexuality, and, above all, her embodiment and description of new kinds of female experience and expression. “Edna St. Vincent Millay,” notes her biographer Nancy Milford, “became the herald of the New Woman.” Harry Cimino (1898-1969) was an American wood engraver and illustrator. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and at the Art Students League, New York. During the 1920's publishers frequently commissioned Cimino to contribute his wood engravings to illustrate such books as "Gifts of Fortune," "Sutter's Gold," "The King's Henchmen," "The Perilous Isle," "Tarboe," "The Harp Weaver," and "Gallion's Reach." He was also extensively employed by the Marchbanks Company to execute some of its most striking calendar designs. Today his wood engravings are included in such major collections as the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Brief gift inscription on ffep dated June 3rd, 1927, endpapers lightly soiled, otherwise unmarked, tight, square, and clean. VERY GOOD.. Woodcut Frontispiece. Small 8vo 7½" - 8" tall. 132 pp. Very Good with no dust jacket .
