About This Item
London: Edward Arnold & Co., 1936. First edition. Bookplates; just about fine in light soiled dust jacket, edges reinforced on the underside with paper-tape, a handful of small tears.. 8vo, 351pp; blue cloth stamped in gilt on spine. From the first issue, with "A Flood in the Office" on pages 278-281, which was excised from later copies. A notable association copy, linking icons of LGBTQ literature: signed by Forster on the title page. Glued to the front flyleaf are the small bookplates of Glenway Wescott and Monroe Wheeler, with another small paper with "Mr. Glenway Wescott" affixed above these, apparently preserved from the package in which Forster sent the book; further inserts tipped in at various places, and with Wescott's marginal notes in ink on several pages.
Synopsis
This collection of articles, essays, reviews, and poems, written by the author of A Passage to India, contains such well-known pieces as "Notes on the English Character,' 'Adrift in India," and "Me, Them and You." Also collected are essays on literary figures whose work Forster especially admired.
