DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. The force and beauty of H. D. s prose brings the stories in Palimpsest brightly to life, particularly in her sense of place: Rome about 75 B. C. , post-World War I London and Egypt at the time of the Tutankhamon tomb excavations. The use of the palimpsest motif gives the reader the impression that one story has been superimposed on the other ad that the protagonist is always the same woman -in essence H. D.

Zustand: Near fine. First printing. Inscribed first edition, in beautiful condition, of one the Modernist poet's greatest works, published by one of the movement's most important presses. The first book in H.D.'s semi-autobiographical Magna Graeca cycle, PALIMPSEST in many ways finds Doolittle turning away from the fragmentation of Imagism in the wake of WWI and toward a more cohesive narrative - if still experimental - style. She would later write: "[PALIMPSEST] is not intended as a work of art [.] It is a means to an end. I want to clear up an old tangle. [.] You must remember that writing poetry requires a clarity, a clairvoyance almost. I have been too weak to dare to be clairvoyant. I have tried instead to be merely sensible." Interestingly, several contemporary clippings are loosely laid in, including one with the headline: "H.D.'s 'Palimpsest' [.] Is Decipherable Only by a Few Clairvoyant Readers." Robert McAlmon's Contact was one of the original loci of the burgeoning Modernist movement. Many of his publications are notoriously fragile; this copy is exceptionally well preserved. 7.5'' x 5.5''. Original beige typographic wrappers. "Printed at Dijon (France) by Maurice Darantiere." One of 700 copies. [viii], 340 pages. Inscribed in year of publication by H.D. on the front endpaper: "H.D. / London / 1926." Leaves largely unopened. Touches of shelfwear, faint soil here and there. Bookplate to verso of front wrapper.
