In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Thus. First impression of the first edition thus - published by Jonathan Cape as No. 3 in The New Library series of classic works of literature - with a new 9pp Preface by Joseph Conrad (dated 1923). The book was originally published in the UK by Willia…m Heinemann in 1896. ***Near fine in light-green cloth-covered boards with blue titles to the spine, and blue decorations to the front board. The boards are clean and unmarked - just slightly browned at the spine and edges. No discernible faults - no bumps, creases or tears. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Page block edges clean. Internally also near fine with neat ownership name and date but no other annotations. Pages clean and unfoxed. No creases or tears. ***In a very good illustrated dustwrapper, printed in black and red. The dustwrapper has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 2s. 6d. net. The dustwrapper is complete - just slightly creased and rubbed at the edges - mainly at the top of the spine and top edge of the front panel near the spine. Spine unfadedg but slightly browned. ***253 pages. 177mm x 122mm. ***'Stephen Crane (Nov 1, 1871 - Jun 5, 1900) was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer. Prolific throughout his short life, he wrote notable works in the Realist tradition as well as early examples of American Naturalism and Impressionism. He is recognized by modern critics as one of the most innovative writers of his generation. Written thirty years after the end of the Civil War and before Crane had any experience of battle, "The Red Badge of Courage" was innovative stylistically as well as psychologically. Often described as a war novel, it focuses less on battle and more on the main character's psyche and his reactions in war. It is believed that Crane based the fictional battle in the novel on that of Chancellorsville; he may also have interviewed veterans of the 124th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, commonly known as the Orange Blossoms, in Port Jervis, New York. Told in a third-person limited point of view, it reflects the private experience of Henry Fleming, a young soldier who flees from combat. "The Red Badge of Courage" is notable in its vivid descriptions and well-cadenced prose, both of which create suspense within the story. Similarly, by substituting epithets for characters' names ("the youth", "the tattered soldier"), Crane injects an allegorical quality, making his characters point to a specific characteristic of man. Like Crane's first novel, "The Red Badge of Courage" has a deeply ironic tone which increases in severity as the novel progresses. The title of the work is ironic; Henry wishes "that he, too, had a wound, a red badge of courage". The wound he does receive (from the rifle butt of a fleeing Union soldier) is instead a badge of shame.' (Wiki) ***'This war book, so virile and so full of gentle sympathy, in which not a single declamatory sentiment defaces the genuine verbal felicity welding analysis and description in a continuous fascination of individual style.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***"One of the most enduring memories of my literary life is the sensation produced by the appearance in 1895 of Crane's "Red Badge of Courage" in a small volume belonging to Mr. Heinemann's Pioneer Series of Modern Fiction - very modern fiction of that time, and upon the whole not devoid of merit. (Quote taken from Conrad's preface) ***First impression of the first edition thus - published in The New Library by Jonathan Cape. A near fine copy in the pre-war dustwrapper - uncommon thus. Especially interesting with the additional Conrad preface. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

In den WarenkorbFirst edition of this revised edition with a new preface by Frank Kermode. Original blue cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dustwrapper designed by Kenneth Farnhill. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean throughout. In the clean dustwrapper, with a small nick to the upper edge of the front panel a…nd the merest rubbing to edges. Not price-clipped (21s. net to the front flap). A very nice copy. David Piper (1918-1990), better known as former director of the National Portrait Gallery (1964-67), the Fitzwilliam Museum (1967-73), and the Ashmolean (1973-85) also published a handful of novels under the pseudonym, David Towry (his middle name). 'Trial By Battle', first published in 1959, the most personal of the author's writings, draws on his wartime experiences, and in particular the battle at the time of the British withdrawal from Malaya and three years as a Japanese prisoner of war. The novel, as Frank Kermode writes in the preface to this new edition, is more than a "conventional documentary war novel, [.] achieve[ing] more in the way of communicating the clash of terror and discipline, the shock of shooting and being shot at, than many enormous and overtly more ambitious novels. [.] For all its unemphatic manner it is probably the best English novel to come out of the Second World War". Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.

Fine, Gilt Brilliant, Cloth Clean And Unworn, No Marks. Per Wikipedia: George Allen Upward (1863- 1926) Was A Poet, Lawyer, Politician And Teacher. His Work Was Included In The First An…thology Of Imagist Poetry, Des Imagistes, Which Was Edited By Ezra Pound And Published In 1914. Upward Was Brought Up As A Member Of The Plymouth Brethren And Trained As A Lawyer At The Royal University Of Dublin (Now University College Dublin). While Living In Dublin, He Wrote A Pamphlet In Favor Of Irish Home Rule. Upward Later Worked For The British Foreign Office In Kenya As A Judge. Back In Britain, He Defended Havelock Wilson And Other Labour Leaders And Ran For Election As A Lib-Lab Candidate, Taking 659 Votes In Merthyr At The 1895 General Election. He Wrote Two Books Of Poetry, Songs Of Ziklag (1888) And Scented Leaves From A Chinese Jar. He Also Published A Translation Sayings Of Confucious And A Volume Of Autobiography, Some Personalities (1921). Upward Wrote A Number Of Now-Forgotten Novels: The Prince Of Balkistan (1895), A Crown Of Straw (1896), A Bride's Madness (1897), The Accused Princess (1900) (Source: Duncan, P. Xii), "''The International Spy: Being A Secret History Of The Russo-Japanese War" (1905), And Athelstane Ford. His 1910 Novel "The Discovery Of The Dead" Is A Collected Fantasy (Listed In Bleiler) Dealing With The Emerging Science Of Necrology. His 1913 Book The Divine Mystery Is An Anthropological Study Of Christian Mythology. In 1908, Upward Self-Published A Book (Originally Written In 1901) Which He Apparently Thought Would Be Nobel Prize Material: The New Word. This Book Is Today Known As The First Citation Of The Word "Scientology", However There Was No Delineation In This Book Of Its Definition By Upward. It Is Unknown Whether L. Ron Hubbard, The Founder Of The Scientology-Organization, Knew Of This Book. In 1917 The British Museum Refused To Take Upward's Manuscripts, "On The Grounds That The Writer Was Still Alive," And Upward Burned Them. He Shot Himself In November 1926. Ezra Pound Would A Decade Later Satirically Remark That This Was Due To His Disappointment After Hearing Of George Bernard Shaw's Nobel Prize Award Which Shaw Won In 1925.
