The Enormous Room
E. E. Cummings · Boni & Liveright, New York · 1922
Cape reissued the book in 1930 as volume 2 in 'The Life & Letters Series,' still carrying the Graves introduction — an early reissue, not the 1928 first UK, and it is sometimes miscatalogued as the first English edition even by established dealers. The Modern Library edition of 1934 adds a new introduction written by Cummings (a dialogue between Author and Public) and is a first edition thus for that introduction only; later Cape printings, including 1968, also carry the 1934 Modern Library introduction and are first thus at best. No book-club issue is documented for the 1922 Liveright printing.
