About This Item
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1925. First Edition, First Printing. Signed presentation copy from Hervey Allen to fellow poet Edwin Arlington Robinson, three time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for poetry. Inscribed: “To ‘Brother’ Robinson with best regards, Hervey Allen”. The word “Brother” in the inscription amusingly refers to the monk like brotherhood Allen and Robinson shared at the McDowell Colony retreat for the arts. Yearly, from 1911 to 1934 Edwin Arlington Robinson attended the McDowell Colony where he met and became friends with young poet Hervey Allen who attended and wrote at the Colony in 1921, 1922, 1923. Some of the poems in this book are the result of those stays. Fine in a very good dust jacket with some tiny chipping and a 2 inch tear to the top of the front spine fold. Hervey Allen went on to write more poetry and historical novels and is best remembered for Anthony Adverse which was made into the 1936 classic film starring Fredric March and Olivia de Havilland.
