Inventions of the March Hare. Poems 1909–1917.

First edition. Large 8vo. Pp. xlii, 428. Black cloth, lettered and ruled in butter-yellow to spine. Index, b/w manuscript facsimiles. With a Preface and extensive Notes by editor Christopher Ricks and Eliot's own remarks about his early development as a poet.

A collection of the author's early verse, most previously unpublished, contained in a notebook given by Eliot to his benefactor John Quinn in 1922 (now in the Berg Collection in the New York Public Library). It includes the ribald verses, which were excised from it. "A long-lost map to a treasure-trove, matchlessly edited, eminently worth owning." –The Guardian
