The Collected Works Of Isaac Rosenberg. Poetry, Prose, Letters And Some Drawings. Edited by Gordon Bottomley & Denys Harding. With a Foreword by Siegfried Sassoon

London: Chatto & Windus, 1937. First edition. Keynes B15. Reilly p. 279. "The Collected Works was issued in an edition of 500 copies, with 900 sets of sheets stored at the publisher's bindery; only 403 copies had been sold by March 1938, and the remaining unbound sheets were destroyed in April 1941 when Chatto & Windus' warehouse was bombed during the Blitz. The Collected Works became exceedingly scarce, and today it is impossible to obtain." - Cohen, Journey to the Trenches (N. Y., 1975). Killed during a night patrol near Arras in 1918, Rosenberg was one of the most promising poets and painters to die in the Great War. His war poems, such as "Louse Hunting", "Dead Man's Dump" and "Break of Day in the Trenches", rival the best poems of Owen, Graves and Sassoon.
