Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper to Jamaican poet and translator Vivian Lancaster Virtue: 'For Vivian Virtue / with best wishes from C.L.R. James / Jun 4 1966 / 115 Mansfield Road / London NW3.' While James' book has for decades been considered the finest book written about the game of cricket, the book could not, at first, find a publisher. James' friend, the Barbadian novelist George Lamming, used the success of his book In the Castle of My Skin to sell James' manuscript to Hutchinson. 'It was a book CLR had to write. He understood the game, he believed, in ways most experts did not and could not. and he saw the game not only as it was played but as it was lived - and for West Indians that meant first of all a colonial society stratified by race and class. establishing early the interconnection between cricket and race and class divisions opens the way for Beyond a Boundary to fulfil its author's full purpose: to draw out other startling connections - cricket and art, life in ancient Greece, even rewriting English social history with cricket's great WG Grace as a crucial figure. CLR approached each area of concern with the method of thought learned from Marx and Hegel, and from his study of history' (James, Selma. 'How Beyond a Boundary broke down the barriers of race, class and empire.' The Guardian, 2 April, 2013). A distinguished copy, connecting two prominent Caribbean authors.

First edition. The memoir is a declaration the author's love of cricket and an examination of the importance of the game to colonial-era Trinidad. It includes sketches of West Indian cricketers George John, "Piggy" Piggot, Old Cons, Sir Learie Constantine's father, and Victor Pascall. According to Wisden, "1963 has been marked by the publication of a cricket book so outstanding as to compel any reviewer to check his adjectives several times before he describes it and, since he is likely to be dealing in superlatives, to measure them carefully to avoid over-praise which this book does not need. In the opinion of the reviewer, it is the finest book written about the game of cricket" (John Arlott, quoted in the Guardian). Selma James, "How Beyond a Boundary broke down the barriers of race, class and empire", Guardian, 2 April 2012. Octavo. Original dark brown boards, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket designed by Peter Chadwick. Extremities gently bumped, spot of soiling to front cover, edges a touch foxed; jacket unclipped, spine lightly sunned, occasionally foxed, a couple of shallow chips and short closed tears to edges: a very good copy in like jacket.

FIRST EDITION, pp. 256, 8vo, original black boards, backstrip lettered in gilt with a decoration in white, slight dink at head of backstrip, upper board corners a touch knocked, dustjacket designed by Peter Chadwick, slight fading to backstrip and borders of front panel, a little rubbed at extremities, very good. A classic in its field, nominated by John Arlott (whose biography of Maurice Tate is cited in the text) in Wisden as 'the finest book written about the game of cricket'. The blurb calls it a 'great nuggety goldmine of a book'; James's work is rich in allusion to art and literature, using cricket and cricketers (with an emphasis on the heroes of his West Indies, but with a section devoted to W.G. Grace and numerous references to legends of the sport from around the world), as a prism through which to provide a memoir of maturation - both his own and that of his native Trinidad, each in cultural exchange with English life and history. As encapsulated in his short Preface, 'To establish his own identity, Caliban, after three centuries, must pioneer into regions Caesar never knew'.
