The Poems of Francis Thompson (1937)
by Francis Thompson – Oxford University Press
As sold by Crappy Old Books

Step into the richly woven verse of Francis Thompson, the mystic poet whose fevered imagination and spiritual longing left an indelible mark on English literature. This 1937 Oxford University Press edition gathers the finest works of a man once hailed by G.K. Chesterton as a visionary genius — even as Thompson battled addiction, poverty, and obscurity.

From the soaring cadences of The Hound of Heaven to tender, lesser-known lyrics, Thompson’s poetry pulses with religious fervour, aching beauty, and an unflinching look at the soul’s search for grace. Whether you’re a collector of fine verse or a hopeless romantic with a taste for the melancholic and sublime, this volume delivers the goods — tattered spine, foxed pages, and all.

Crappy Old Books proudly presents this slightly battered, wholly magnificent relic of poetic brilliance. Perfect for lovers of literary depth, antique smells, and books that have clearly lived a little.

Nice condition, dust jacket all good except for the little section missing on the top of the spine as apparent in image.
