LEHMANN, John [ed.]. Poets of Tomorrow
LEHMANN, John [ed.]. Poets of Tomorrow. Second Selection. Cambridge Poetry 1940. London: The Hogarth Press. 1940. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s pale olive cloth lettered in gilt to spine and front board, in the dust jacket. A very good copy, the cloth clean, a trifle bumped at spine head and tail, and corners, the binding tight and square. The textblock clean, ink signature to the front endpaper dated 1940. The dust jacket priced 6s net to the spine, complete, with several tiny nicks, closed tears, toning and rubbing, but a handsome copy given the fragile wrapper.
Contributors include John Bateman, Alex Comfort, Nicholas Moore, E. V. Swart, Terence Tiller, and others. Before Lehmann set up his own publishing firm, he worked for Leonard and Virginia Woolf as Managing Director of The Hogarth Press. He published various poetry and short story anthologies focusing on particular groups of authors or particular ideas and incidents; working-class authors, new writers, on opinions on the outbreak of the war, and on this occasion, works by fellow Cambridge graduates.
