BRONOWSKI, J. [Jacob]

The Poet's Defence

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1939. First Edition. First impression. Demi octavo. Rose-pink publisher's cloth; dustjacket; 258pp. Tight, clean, unmarked copy, Near Fine. In the original dustwrapper, unpriced (as issued), slightly toned at spine and margins; Near Fine. A lovely copy of Bronowski's first regularly-published book (following only a privately-printed pamphlet earlier the same year). Though he would gain prominence as a mathematician, philosopher, and widely-known public intellectual, Bronowski's early years at Cambridge were largely devoted to literary pursuits.

Price: $150.00
