London: Sidgwick & Jackson, 1911. First Edition of the author’s first book. Publisher’s cloth with a paper spine label; closer to fine than very good (according to Ahearn: Collected Books, 2011, this was not issued with a dust jacket). [With] 1914 And Other Poems. London: Sidgwick & Jackson, 1915. First Edition. Publisher’s cloth with paper spine label; very light foxing, fine. Both volumes are enclosed in a single quarter leather slipcase with chemises. Brooke, perhaps the most celebrated of WW I poets, who, despite the widespread impression that he died in combat, perished from an infection shortly before the latter book was published.
