First edition. Rebound in full burgundy leather gilt. Mottling to the leather, some slight finger smudges in the text, a very good copy. Early ownership Signature of Allen Tate ("Orley Allen Tate. June 6th, 1922. E.H."). In late 1921 Donald Davidson invited Tate to attend informal meetings of like-minded literary men including John Crowe Ransom, who then launched the magazine The Fugitive in 1922. In the same year Hart Crane sent a letter to Tate in which Crane cited similarities to Eliot in a Tate poem that appeared in The Double Dealer. The comment, according to David Havird, prompted Tate to purchase Eliot's Poems (1920). Immediately he recognized his affinity with the older poet: "This man, though by no means famous at that time, was evidently so thoroughly my contemporary that I had been influenced by him before I had read a line of his verse." During his last semester at Vanderbilt, Tate, with his roommate and lifelong friend Ridley Wills, wrote The Golden Mean, a parody of the much loved poem, The Waste Land. This admiration spurred Tate's rejoinder to an attack on Eliot by Ransom, which permanently damaged their relationship. Despite the rather unsympathetic binding, an exceptionally important association copy reflecting the effect of Eliot on Tate, an effect that carried through to many other young American poets as well. #324770...... $2,500

First edition, preceding the Sagamore trade edition. Octavo. Red cloth gilt, without dustwrapper as issued. The gilt lettering is a bit faded, a faint dampstain on the boards, a very good copy. Complimentary slip from Myra Buttle laid in. A satire of T.S. Eliot, printed for private circulation. Laid in is a one page Autograph Letter Signed to Buttle from English author and drama critic Charles Purdom in the year of publication, whose arch tone sounds like he was in on the joke: "Dear Miss Buttle, You were a very good girl to send me a copy of The Sweeniad & not at all an ordinary girl to have made so well deserved an examination of the great Sweeney. It is writing of himself at his best. Similar personal attention to his so-called plays would be much appreciated by me. He is the nothingness of our age, great ability with waste of soul. Your book gave me great pleaseure. I hope you are sleeping well. Yours sincerely, C.B. Purdom." Also laid in is a similarly arch two page Autograph Letter Signed from "Myra Buttle": [in part] "How very kind of you to write to me so encouragingly about The Sweeniad!... Perhaps one of these days I may have a bang at the so-called plays too. The Response I am getting is very heartening, Bertrand Russell is enthusiastic... Graham Greene (surprisingly enough) sends me a post-card with 'Bravo' on it." Buttle goes on to reveal the answer to a riddle in the text. #276957...... $450 PURCELL, Victor as Myra Buttle.
