Reasons Why Doctor J Really Shouldn't Surf The Net
Oh, there are so many, but here are some particular ones; they simply stir my envy:
- The Waste Land, First Edition. Check out the price.
- Selected Poems 1909-1925, inscribed. Anyone have $6,000 laying about?
- Four Quartets, in their original pamphlet form.
- For Lancelot Andrewes, an all-but-impossible text to find these days.
- Eliot on Dante, stuck all the way down there in New Zealand with all those hobbits.
- Homage to John Dryden, amazingly cheap, but 200 available copies?!?!? Sounds fishy to me. Contrast with this first edition.
- The only copy of After Strange Gods I can track down. The book is now out of print, and was indeed removed from printing on Eliot's request.
- Wallace Stevens' Harmonium, one of the signal volumes of Modern poetry.
- Stevens' Collected Poems, First Edition. See also this edition of the poems by Frank Kermode and Joan Richardson which I once owned but which has since been lost. *pout*
- Mark Strand's Dark Harbor in hardback.
- Northrop Frye's impossible to locate The Stubborn Structure, also in hardback. See also this, edited (in part) by a former professor of yours truly.
