London England: Victor Gollancz, 1952. Hardback. Previous owners name neatly written to inside cover. Here are the letter interchanged - between 1899 and 1939 - by an intellectual giant and a great and beautiful actress, a pair whose brilliance of mind and of personality dominated the English-speaking stage for fifty years. The correspondence begins when Shaw was 42 and Mrs. Campbell 34. It concludes - rather 'fizzling out', as the greatest correspondence will - when Shaw was 83 and Mrs. Cambell was 74 and within a year of her death. The gaps in the correspoondence are curious and not easy to bridge. But it is fairly clear from internal evidence that very few letters, if any at all, were suppressed or destroyed by either sender of recipient. 339 pp. ( We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. and scholarly books etc.). First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Harback.
