Very good, with an unusual color-printed bookplate of "AF" on the front pastedown. Free endpapers a bit discolored. First edition, one of two hundred twenty copies. xvi, 40 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. 'The Dark Angel' and other poems. Lionel Johnson (1867-1902), educated at Winchester and New College, Oxford, affiliated with the Rhymers' Club, is also remembered as having introduced Oscar Wilde to Lord Alfred Douglas.
"Yeats, who remembered Johnson in the early 1890s as 'always at my side' (312), thought of him as 'our critic, and above all our theologian' (221) and, impressed and influenced by Johnson's erudition, encouraged his attempts to transform himself into an Irishman (ODNB, citing Yeats, Autobiographies, 1955).
Handsome copy of this selection, which includes Johnson's "The Dark Angel". Wade 231
