This volume in the New Classics series collects the superlative Roger Fry translations of Mallarme's major poetry works into English, sadly left unfinished at his death. The poems which Fry did translate are included in both their English translations and the original French. The poems which Fry had not yet translated are presented in their original French only. The foreward is by Charles Mauron, Fry's longtime friend and collaborator. The superb dust jacket is the work of Alvin Lustig, and is a great example of his simple yet effective book designs for New Directions books of this era.
