The Passionate Heart
By Mary Gilmore
Published by Angus & Robertson Ltd: Sydney 1918 1st Edition

"The Passionate Heart by Mary Gilmore, published by Angus & Robertson Ltd, Sydney, in 1918 (first edition), is one of the poet's finest early collections, written during the years surrounding the First World War. The volume captures Gilmore's fierce compassion for humanity and her lyrical evocation of love, sacrifice, and endurance. Many of the poems reflect the anguish of war and the resilience of those left behind, blending personal sentiment with a universal call for peace and understanding. Her verse is intimate yet socially conscious, echoing both her nationalist ideals and her empathy for the suffering of ordinary people.

Bound in its original green cloth with Gilmore's monogram on the front cover, this first edition includes a portrait frontispiece with facsimile signature. It remains a significant work in Australian literary history, representing one of the country's leading female voices at the height of her creative power. A desirable volume for collectors of early Australian poetry, World War I literature, and works by Dame Mary Gilmore."
