About This Item
London England: The Hogarth Press Ltd. Hardcover. First Edition. Passion and Ancient Days. 21 New Poems. Browning to edges of D/J. through age. Shelf wear to top edge of D/J. Constantine Cavafy's reputation as a poet is now internationally established. This book comprises twenty-one poems never previously published in English. The translators, in telling us how this came about, reveals Cavafy's tentativeness and scrupulousness in publishing work during his lifetime. They divide his poetry into 'historical, philosophical, erotic', and discuss the poems they have chosen under these three headings. Their versions of them do full justice to Cavafy's irony, his tenderness and to the increas64 pp. ingly simple language in which he voiced them. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. Academic and Scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Educational Reference Literature.) . Very Good. Cloth. First Edition. 1972.
