Development. With a Preface by Amy Lowell.

FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, from the English sheets, spotting to prelims, pp. xvi, 187, crown 8vo, original burgundy cloth, backstrip lettered in gilt and a little rubbed at ends, edges and endpapers a little spotted, good. Lowell's Preface, appearing for the first time here (added to the second English edition in the same year), concludes in adulatory terms: 'No better study of the growth of the artist's mind has been written, I think'. Bryher had published a 'Critical Appreciation of Amy Lowell' two years earlier. The book takes its epigraph from the author's partner, the poet H.D.; a semi-autobiographical narrative, continued by 'Two Selves' in 1923 (a work given the provisional title of 'Adventure' at the close here).
