Description:
London: Faber and Faber, 1932. Cloth. Good-only. FIRST EDITION, INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR. 8vo, pp. 352. Original red cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Shaken, binding slack, but holding, spine sunned, joints splitting, especially rear, corners bumped. Some foxing, inscribed by Farjeon in publication year in sepia pen to ffep: "Dear Maggie/ from Eleanor & Pod/ May 1932" and in another hand below: "Bertha Hagart/ July 1956". Else, clean. Good-only. It seems likely that Bertha Hagart (later Rose) was the Royal Academy of Music (RAM)-trained, South African pianist, who was active professionally both in South Africa and Britain in the 1950s. If this is the case, it also seems probable that Hagart and Farjeon met through the author's elder brother Harry, who taught at RAM for 45 years. Pod was Farjeon's partner and friend, George Earle; Maggie, sadly, remains unidentified.

Small ink smudges to p. 23 and adjacent plate, spine starting at p. 113, else, clean and tidy. A good copy of a colourful early account of the influential interwar cinema of Russia. In Film Problems, Bryher argued vociferously for the socio-political and aesthetic importance of Soviet Cinema and her right "as a freeborn English woman" to watch it; she sought a middle-way to discuss 'Russian film art,' for "either, it appears, you must be prepared to bayonet your aunt because she won't read Karl Marx, or else you must leave the room because Potemkin is mentioned" (p.11). Brim-full of striking stills � selected by Kenneth Macpherson � it is both a scathing indictment of British film censorship and a concerted attempt to circumvent it.… Read More
