Like a Bulwark, circa 1957

Material pertaining to Faber & Faber's publication of the British edition, which consists of a corrected copy of the American edition, corrected typescripts, notes, and proofs. The binding of the American edition has been gutted and separate pages have been laid in, which bear many corrections and instructions throughout. Robert Wilson notes that one of the most interesting corrections is Faber editor and poet T.S. Eliot's changing of the title "Tom Fool at Jamaica" to "Tom of Greentree Stable," based on his notion that British readers would not know that Jamaica was a race course in the United States. Moore signed the title page of the corrected volume at Wilson's request. Also included is a typed notecard with instructions for Moore's corrections, as well as five typescript pages of poetry on Moore's stationary with her handwritten corrections. Additional material relating to this publication can be found in I.A. Marianne Moore correspondence -- Faber & Faber.
