About This Item
London: Faber and Faber, 1935. First Edition, third impression. Very good/Good. 8vo, 8 x 5 1/3 inches (203 x 133 mm); 180 pp, printed on laid paper; pink cloth with black title on spine. Dust jacket with price (2s. 6d. net) intact on front flap, sunned on edges and spine, with a couple of chips but DJ in good condition. First performed by the Group Theatre in 1936, this is the first of several Auden-Isherwood collaborations which made an important contribution to English drama in the 1930s. A curious detail about this play is that there were two endings: one by Isherwood which appears in the printed version, and a different, more dramatic one by Auden for the staged version.
From the estate of Robert Cecil Bald (1901 - 1965), an Australian scholar of English Literature, who moved to the US to teach at Cornell University in 1937 and was then a professor at the University of Chicago from 1952 to 1965.
