Light offsetting to feps, POI to ffep: "R. Davis./ King's/ Cambridge." In the original dust jacket: spine tobacco-tanned, toned and rubbed, creasing and wear to edges, a few nicks. Very good/ good+. Kathleen Nott's third collection. A PEN member from the 1950s and elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 1977, Nott was an outspoken humanist and rationalist, views most evident in her contentious 1953 book The Emporer's New Clothing: An attack on the dogmatic orthodoxy of T. S. Elliot, Graham Greene, Dorothy Sayers, C. S. Lewis, and others. According to an early reviewer, Nott "has a rich, harsh and rather masculine talent" (TLS).
