Louis Golding (19 November 1895 – 9 August 1958) was an English writer, very famous in his time especially for his novels. Born in Manchester, Lancashire into a Ukrainian-Jewish family, Golding was educated at Manchester Grammar School and Queen's College, Oxford. He used his Manchester background (as 'Doomington') and Jewish themes in his novels, the first of which was published while he was still an undergraduate (his student time was interrupted by service in World War I). Golding described his politics as "strongly to the left" and Edgar Allan Poe and Alfred, Lord Tennyson as influences on his poetry. Very handsome First Edition in DJ.LOC SSE-05
