HEANEY (Seamus).
The Testament of Cresseid. A Retelling of Robert Henryson's Poem by Seamus Heaney with Images by Hughie O'Donoghue.
Number 189 of 350 regular copies signed by the author and the artist. Lacking the slipcase, else a fine copy.
From the library of the British poet, publisher and academic Jon Stallworthy (1935-2014), with his elegant ownership inscription to the front free endpaper. Stallworthy and Heaney, who initially met as students of Yeats, were close friends, with Stallworthy describing Heaney as ‘prince of men and poets’ (from his memoir by Peter France, published online by the British Academy).
