Signed limited edition of T. S. Eliot’s classic “conversion poem.” Octavo, original cloth decorated in gilt, top edge gilt. One of six hundred numbered copies, this is number 151. Boldly signed by T.S. Eliot on the colophon. In near fine condition. Housed in the publisher’s original cardboard slipcase which is in very good condition. A very sharp example.
Published in 1930, Eliot's Ash Wednesday presents the struggle and difficulty of embracing religious belief and the possibility of personal salvation in the midst of angst, spiritual exhaustion and uncertainty.
