Good+ Unusual A pleasing presentation copy of the first English edition of Walter Berendsohn's biography of the Swedish writer and Novel Laureate for Literature in 1909, Selma Lagerlöf, inscribed by its translator to the former steel and colliery worker, author and Oxford scholar, Roger Dataller (pseud. of Arthur Eaglestone), including a friendly ALS thanking him for taking "so much trouble on behalf of Dr, Berendsohn" and requesting copies of Dataller's book ("much liked here"), presumably one of his 1930s titles, perhaps A Pitman Looks at Oxford (1933) or Oxford Into Coal-field (1934). By 1934, Roger Dataller/ Arthur Eaglestone (1892-1980) was back in South Yorkshire working in adult education as a lecturer in English Literature at the WEA, as well as writing. His first book, From a Pitman's Notebook (1925), had led to the award of a Miners' Welfare Scholarship to New College, Oxford, where he had studied between 1928 and 1931 (and hence the later titles).

First edition. Preface by Lord Olivier, Governor of Jamaica, 1907-13. INSCRIBED BY TIMPSON on front endpaper, "Inscribed for Mrs. Grace Jacobs by George F. Timpson/ Third May 1946." Illustrated with full-plate black-and-white prints and photographs. "Jamaica, the oldest and most beautiful of our tropical colonies, was the great stronghold of British slavery; on her shores Christianity and the slave system met in mortal combat. The stirring story of Jamaican emancipation is told in this volume, which closes with a description of the Island today." -- from the dust jacket flap. Would appear to be a self-congratulatory story of the British enslaving the Black residents of this island nation and then stepping it back to mere colonization and exploitation. Bright and fine with spot of rubbing to tips. In very good dust jacket showing only a few small chips and tears, and with folds internally repaired/reinforced with archival tape.
