Gill, Eric
The Song of Songs called by many the Canticle of Canticles. Waltham St Lawrence: Golden Cockerel Press, 1925. 8vo, org. cream buckram; pp. 42, [4]; woodcuts by Gill. Limited ed, no. 187 of 750.
The first of Gill's strange and sensual reactions to Biblical sources, the spiritual sexuality would continue to produce strange fruit throughout his career. The text is deliberately presented as an opera, with acts and scenes, and "this present edition is advanced as a set of suggestions helpful to the unbroken tradition of Jew and Christian that whereas the letter is of human the spirit is of Divine Love."
