Good- A well-handled first edition 'fan' copy of Marion Angus' 1927 poetry collection, Sun & Candlelight, featuring an undated clipped signed note from the poet pasted in, plus two newspaper clippings announcing her death: "The death has occurred at Arbroath of Miss Marion Angus, the well-known Scottish poet [.and.] one of the most distinctive voices of the modern Scots revival"; it was Angus' poems of the 1920s (such as this collection) "which established her as one of the group of vernacular poets who were forerunners of the 'Scottish Renaissance' of the inter-war years. Her Scots verse, along with that of Violet Jacob and Lewis Spence, marked a break with the exhausted post-Burns tradition, and anticipated the work of C.M. Grieve (Hugh MacDiarmid)" (ODNB).
