Seamus Heaney. FIELD WORK (First edition, first impression - hardcover issue). Faber and Faber, 3 Queen Square, London WC1N 3AU, 1979.

Price: US$97.47 + shipping

Condition: Near Fine

Description: First impression of the true first edition, published in 1979 - the scarcer hardcover issue. There was also a simultaneously published wrappers issue which is more common. ***Near fine in brown cloth-covered boards, with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still beautifully bright. The boards are clean and unmarked. No bumps or creases. Corners sharp. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also near fine, with no creases or tears. No inscriptions. Pages clean. ***In a very good dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £3.00 net. The dustwrapper is virtually without faults, except for the commonly found fading to the spine area and top edge of the front panel. No chips. No tears. No creasing. Flaps not creased. ***224mm x 145mm. 64 pages. ***'"Field Work" was Heaney’s first collection of poetry since his most celebrated collection, "North" in 1975. Field Work can largely be read as a record of Heaney’s four years (1972-1976) living in rural County Wicklow in the Republic of Ireland, after leaving the violence of The Troubles. Heaney had previously been living in Belfast as a professor at Queen's University. Denis O’Donoghue has referred to this period as "years of retreat only in the religious or monastic sense, a quiet time for thinking and renewal."' (Wiki) ***'At the centre of this new collection, which includes groups of elegies and love poems, there is a short sonnet sequence which concentrates themes apparent elsewhere in the book; the individual's responsibility for his own choices, the artist's commitment to his vocation, the vulnerability of all in the face of circumstance and death. Mr Heaney's voice has matured to a point where he speaks directly and memorably, and is at ease within his chosen modes.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A true first impression of "Field Work", Seamus Heaney's fifth poetry collection, in bright, near fine condition. Of interest to collectors of Seamus Heaney's poetry. A nice collectable copy. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
