May we offer,
ORWELL, George. The Complete Poetry. Compiled and presented by
Dione Venables with an introduction by Peter Davison [the editor
of 'The Complete Works of George Orwell']. Published by Finlay
Publisher for The Orwell Society, London, 2015. Original printed
green wraps, as new, one of 500 copies of the first printing of
the first edition, with the errata slip pasted in at page 57; 63
pages, with a one-page description prepared by Ms Venables
providing the background for her creation and editing of this
work laid in. $ 25.00
The long overdue gathering of the verse of George Orwell, who
"scattered poetry throughout his work in every conceivable form",
instructively glossed by Dione Venables, who was instrumental in
the founding of The Orwell Society in 2011.
So far as we know, these are the last copies of the first
printing of the first edition (distinguished by the presence of
the errata slip) publicly available. All net proceeds from their
sale will be remitted to The Orwell Society, in support of its
first and newly established bursaries to assist students to
pursue degrees in English and journalism.
