FIRST EDITION. Half title. Endpapers browned. Orig. pale blue cloth, paper label on spine; rubbed & dulled with some crude colour repairs on binding. 88pp. Stephen, 1859-1892, was the tutor of Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale - eldest grandson of Edward VII and grandson of Queen Victoria; he was also Virginia Woolf's first cousin. He suffered an accident in 1886 or '87 which resulted in a serious head-injury causing decline of both his mental and physical capacities. This collection of poetry was published in the same year he was institutionalised at St Andrew's Hospital, a mental asylum in Northampton. Stephen died of 'mania' a year later, twenty days after his former pupil Prince Albert Victor died of pneumonia aged 28.
