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.

Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. First edition, first printing. Signed by C.L.R. James on the front free endpaper. Bound in publisher's original black cloth-affect boards with spine stamped in gilt and white. Near fine with slight splaying to boards, light soiling. In a Very Good unclipped dust jacket with sunning, soiling and wear, tape repairs made to the verso at the ends of the spine and flap folds. One of the best books ever written on the sport of cricket and also an important work in the development of post-colonial studies. James was a former cricketer and also a Marxist/anti-Stalinist philosopher, decades ahead of his time with his bottom-up approach to popular culture and the political realm.
