- Local Notes:
- "This first and only independent printing of this ode to Shakespeare by Irish poet, folk song collector and father of Robert Graves, Alfred Perceval Graves. His poem takes us on a poetic journey through Shakespeare's inspiration from his first meeting with his muse Melopomene and how he brought form to the gifts she gave him in verse and drama to the enduring and endlessly renewing creative legacy he leaves us. It appears to be his first published work."--Vendor's description.
