Jubilate Agno
Published by Rupert Hart Davis, London, 1954
First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: very good, price clipped. First edition. Octavo (standard size). Slight wear to edges and corners of boards and dust jacket. Dj has a few spots on back cover. Bookstore sticker from Dufour Editions on front pastedown. A set of original Library of Congress cataloguing cards for the book in their original envelope, taped on the last free endpaper. 171 p. A new edition of a 18th c. work written in a lunatic asylum, first published in the modern era in 1939. However, Bond realized the 1939 edtion had wrongly arranged the poem, and that it should be read antiphonally. Bond re-arranged the 1939 work so the two parts are read in conjunctionas in Hebrew Poetry, making it far less less mad than the work first appeared.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Greenwood Press reprint from the 1954 Harvard University first edition. 5.75" x 8.75" hardcover in blue cloth, 171pp - dustjacket absent, if ever issued. Clean and well bound, with occasional pencil emphasis marks and notes throughout, all neat and fairly unobtrusive. Book opens a little free at inside covers, but binding otherwise quite sound with lively, bright page interiors. Rear pastedown slightly torn. Boards still vibrant, with mild-moderate wear at corners, most notably to spine extremities. A nice copy of this uncommon text. Edited with an introduction by W.H. Bond, Jubilate Agno was a religious poem written between 1759-1763 by English poet Christopher Smart during his confinement in St Luke's Hospital for Lunatics. His only companion these during these years of incarceration was his cat Jeoffrey, to whom a section of Smart's long poem is lovingly dedicated. In overall good+ condition.
