About This Item
Published by Peter Nevill, London; 1952. 8vo. 245pp. First edition, first impression. Condition; Near Fine/Very Good
Bound in original green cloth boards, the binding is square, tight, and free from marks. There a little bumping and wear to the edges, but it is otherwise free from wear. Inside, the pages are clean and bright with no blemishes or damage, and barely a touch of toning to the edges. There is a bookseller label affixed to the inside of the front board.
The book is housed in its original first issue dust jacket. The jacket is in smart condition, free from marking. There is a little wear to the edges and some darkening and rubbing to the spine and rear panel. It remains in clean, tidy condition.
In all, this is a smart first edition of this study of Hemingway and his work, aiming to refute many of the common contemporary criticisms and focus on Hemingway's major concern, the diagnosis of Twentieth Century fear. The book traces Hemingway's development as an author from the publication of 'A Farewell to Arms' right up to what was his latest work, 'The Old Man and the Sea', which Atkins considered a small masterpiece.
