Signed limited edition of T. S. Eliot’s classic “conversion poem.” Octavo, original cloth decorated in gilt. One of six hundred numbered copies, this is number 329. Boldly signed by T.S. Eliot on the colophon. In near fine condition, bookplate to the front pastedown. 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.
