About This Item
Thavies Inn: Richard Cobden-Sanderson, 1920. First edition. 254, [2] pp. Printed at The Complete Press, West Norwood, London. 8vo. Publisher's blue cloth, spine titled in gilt. Spine darkened and gilt dulled, some light foxing to final few leaves. First edition. 254, [2] pp. Printed at The Complete Press, West Norwood, London. 8vo. T.J. Cobden-Sanderson's Copy with 2 Pages of MS Notes. T.J. Cobden-Sanderson's copy, signed ("T.J. Cobden Sanderson") on the flyleaf and with his marginal notes in pencil throughout and 2 pages of notes ("For a 2nd. Ed.") in pen on the rear free endpaper, dated 24 and 30 January 1922 and initialed ("T.J.") twice.
The present anthology (published by his son Richard Cobden-Sanderson) is in essence a trade edition of the 1911 Doves Press edition of Wordsworth's poetry, A Decade of Years, though with the poems reordered and a new Preface by Cobden-Sanderson. His manuscript notes mostly concern the reordering of poems for a proposed second edition. That edition never appeared and Cobden-Sanderson died in September of 1922.
