Published by Blackwell's viii+51pp
edited by Charles Plumb, W. H. Auden
with Preface

Auden's junior editorship in 1926 appears to have been instrumental in gathering part of the Auden "gang" together, in particular bringing Rex Warner and Cecil Day Lewis to his notice. The preface, probably by Plumb, has been much quoted: "If it is a natural preference to inhabit a room with casements opening onto Fairyland, one at least of them should open upon The Waste Land."
