Description:
Berkeley: University of Calif Press, 1952. Very good (near fine except for a few tiny foxing spots on page edges, interior fine) in near fine (price-clipped, otherwise fine) dust jacket. Nisbet was a notable Dickens scholar, and this book grew out of her work on another book about Dickens during which she uncovered documents which led her to reevaluate Dickens' relationship with this young actress. 89 pages with a foreword by Edmund Wilson. Something of the tone of the writing--fact-based rather than sensationalist--is indicated by the title of the first and last sections: "Household Saint' and "Decanonization"!. 1st Edition. Hard Cover.

Description:
New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1970. Good reading copy (no dust jacket, extensive soiling of white covers with spine printing barely legible, interior crisp and clean with no markings) of this biography of the surrealist novelist and screen writer. Well-written, interesting book. 435 pages including extensive index and 20 pages of black and white photographs. West, in addition to being an important novelist--little appreciated during his short lifetime--worked on 1930s B-movies as a screenwriter and was a friend of F.Scott Fitzgerald (who died the day before West in 1940). The book explores these and other aspects of West's life.. 1st Edition. Hard Cover.
