Book
Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks. Colour plates. B/w photographs. 320 pages clean and tight. This unique history, written by a distinguished member of the family it portrays, vividly recreates lives that were lived and events that took place in one of England's greatest houses. Externally unchanged, Hatfield House has remained for some 370 years the home of a family who at various times have held the political destiny of the country in their hands. The book is divided into three parts. The first paints portraits, at once more intimate and more colourful than most historians give, of William Cecil, Lord Burghley, and his son Robert, ist Earl of Salisbury, chief ministers to Elizabeth I and the founders of the Cecils' fortunes. It also sketches in such brilliant personages as Essex and Raleigh and the odd, unkingly figure of James I. In the second part the author traces the story of the family during the late 17th and the 18th century, when, though less outstanding politically, it-was ornamented by picturesque characters like the hard-riding, card-playing 1st Marchioness, and produced relationships such as the one that made the 2nd Marchioness a confidante of the Duke of Wellington. The third and most striking part deals with the Late Victorian and the Edwardian periods, when the Cecils rose to eminence again under the 3rd Marquess, for fourteen years Prime Minister of England and one of the greatest and most enigmatic statesmen of his time. It goes on to describe in strongly felt detail the personalities of his wife and children, who included Lord Cecil of Chel-wood, famous for his part in founding the League of Nations. This section, based on material drawn from the memories of the author himself and his close relatives, has the glow of personal reminiscence rather than the reflected light of history. It gives the first picture ever n'ide from the insidc of the ablest and most influential Tory tamiiy tf the day, whose education and mode ot lite are revealed as startlingly different from the usual conception of what went on in an aristocratic home during the reigns of Victoria and Edward VII.

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair to Good. First Edition. Blue cloth with bright gilt lettering on spine. Dustwrapper in dw proctector - ragged to extremities with small tears and chips, rubbed to folds. Previous owner's inscription on ffep. With critical introductions on British and American poetry and biographical notes on the poets included. This anthology includes British and American poets. 688 pages very clean and tight. This anthology aims at giving a representative selection of poetry in English published between the years 1900 and 1950. It includes both British and American poets and is the only anthology of the period to do so. Lord David Cecil contributes an introduction to the British poets; Professor Allen Tate to the American. The poets themselves are arranged in a single chronological sequence. It is often said that the poetry of Yeats, Pound and Eliot made a "literary revolution" in the twentieth century. Both editors, while admitting the enormous international influence of these poets, disagree from this conclusion. Lord David points out that there were and still are "a number of gifted poets, with no special taste for technical experiment, who have gone on writing in the manner of an earlier tradition". Professor Tate, while accepting the judgement that since American poets are less firmly rooted in a settled poetic tradition than the British, they are able to seize and digest traditions and influence from many languages and periods, shows that the difference between "traditional" and "modern" is often more apparent than real. Contemporary styles may be as diverse as those of John Betjeman, William Empson and Dylan Thomas, or as those from William Carlos Williams, Yvor Winters and Hart Crane. "Good poets are both of and above their age", is Professor Tate's conclusion "but with a poetry which is near us in time, much of the difficulty that appears to be in the language as -such, is actually in the unfamiliar focus of feeling, belief and experience which directs the language from the concealed depths . The verbal shock, the violent metaphor, as a technique of magic, forces into linguistic existence subjective meanings and insights that poets can no longer discover in the common world." Here then is a representative selection of the work of 114 poets, 55 British and 59 American, from Emily Dickinson and Thomas Hardy down to David Gascoyne and Richard Wilbur. In one sense every anthology is personal choice, but this has been made to show as many varying moods of the twentieth century poetic experience as can be contained in one convenient volume. Besides the two introductions and the biographical and bibliographical notes, which are as up-to-date as it is possible to make them, there are also alphabetical indexes of the poets and of first lines.

Evidence of label removed from rear free end paper. 201 pages clean and tight. A book of critical essays. Those who have enjoyed reading Lord David Cecil on Hardy and Emily Bronte will wish to read him on Jane Austen and Virginia Woolf.
