Description
London: W.H. Allen, 1956. First U.K. Edition. Octavo. 19.5cm. Publisher's dark red cloth titled in gilt to spine. Dustjacket. [xvii]; 1290pp. Clean and strong, with a little scuffing and bumping to corners and spine ends, some dulling of the cheap spine gilt; internally clean; in a strong, handsome dustjacket with some shallow wear to the head of spine, toning to the spine panel and some light cosmetic soiling. A very good copy. A collection of literary documents, edited and interpreted by Wilson, demonstrating the development of a domestic voice for wholly American literature, and the growing cultural awareness of this phenomena.
