About This Item
New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1973. First edition of this classic work. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket, name to the front free endpaper. Jacket design by Charles Skaggs. Housed in a custom half morocco slipcase. "About 80 of the poems in History are new," writes Mr. Lowell, "the rest are taken from my last published poem, Notebook begun six years ago. All the poems have been changed, some heavily. I have plotted. My old title, Notebook, was more accurate than I wished, i.e. my composition was jumbled. I hope this jumble or jungle is cleared--that I have cut the waste marble from the figure."
