Song ['Only the wanderer'] / Ballad of the Three Spectres

A copy of the second edition (March 1919) of Ivor Gurney's collection 'Severn and Somme', first published in November 1917 by Sidgwick and Jackson, owned by Gurney and annotated and corrected by him some time after 1921, probably in April 1925. Includes an inscription by Gurney, numerous alterations in the poet's hand, in black and blue ink, and descriptions of where Gurney remembers the poems to have been written. Gurney notes that 'Song' ['Only the wanderer'] was written at Caulaincourt, and the 'Ballad of the Three Spectres' was written at the 'Somme'.该馆藏副本为艾弗·格尼（Ivor Gurney）诗集《塞文与索姆》（Severn and Somme）1919年3月第二版的复制品，该诗集最初由西德威克与杰克逊出版公司（Sidgwick and Jackson）于1917年11月首次出版。此副本为格尼本人所有，并于1921年后的某一时间（大概率为1925年4月）由其本人完成批注与修订。副本包含格尼亲笔题写的献词，大量以黑色、蓝色墨水书写的诗人手书修改痕迹，以及格尼凭记忆标注的各首诗歌的创作地点说明。格尼在副本中注明，《歌》（又名《唯有漂泊者》）创作于科朗库尔（Caulaincourt），而《三幽灵叙事曲》（Ballad of the Three Spectres）创作于索姆（Somme）地区。
