Paperback. Condition: Good +. Paperback. 8 1/2" X 5 1/2". xvii, 297pp. Mild creasing and shelf wear to covers, corners, and edges of pictorial paper wraps. Bump to bottom corner of text block. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: The origins, nature, function and effects of imagination have engrossed writers, theologians, philosophers and practitioners of the arts across the ages; its influence on painting and music continues to be debated. It has been simultaneously feared as a dangerous, uncontrollable force and revered as the supreme visionary power. Cocking's Imagination is an exploration of the history of imagination from antiquity to the Renaissance. The book opens with a treatment of imagination in the writings of Aristotle and Plato. Developments in the Middle Ages are traced, with particular attention to the parallel tradition in Islamic thought of the period and the book pursues the concept through the theories of Dante and the Neo-platonists to the High Renaissance. The manuscript was left unfinished on Professor Cocking's death in 1986 and has been edited by Penelope Murray, who adds an introductory essay. The book will be of particular value as a background to the explosion of interest in the imagination in the Romantic period.(Publisher).

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket illustration by George Murray (illustrator). First Edition. First printing of the true first edition - Booker Prize winning novel. ***Very good in grey cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked. Corners sharp. Head and tail of spine slightly creased. Top edge and fore-edge of page-block slightly foxed. Internally also very good with no inscriptions. Interior pages clean with just a very few fox spots. There is a light crease to the front free endpaper, which also has a small area of loss at the bottom corner - possibly a production fault. Slight spine lean but spine tight. ***In a very good colour-illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £4.50 net. The dustwrapper is complete with no tears or chips, just some light edge creasing and very slight loss at the top corner of the front fold. Slight fading to the sun-sensitive colour on the spine of the dustwrapper, which extends to the front panel (please see scans). ***216mm x142mm. 141 pages. ***'Penelope Fitzgerald is best known for her family biography "The Knox Brothers", which had the rare distinction of winning unanimous praise from the critics and pleasing a wide readership. Last year her first novel "The Bookshop" was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. Her new novel is set in the 1960s, among the houseboat community who rise and fall with the tide on Battersea Reach. Living between land and water, they feel as if they belong to neither. Maurice, by occupation a male prostitute, is the sympathetic friend to whom all the others turn. Nenna loves her husband but can't get him back; her children run wild on the muddy foreshore and in the not altogether savoury streets that fringe the river. She feels drawn to Richard, the correct ex-RNVR city man whose converted minesweeper dominated the Reach. Richard can make things work. Is he sexually attractive because he can fold maps the right way? The novel puts this question, and other ones about truth and kindness'. (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***Penelope Fitzgerald was born Penelope Mary Knox at the Old Bishop's Palace, Lincoln, the daughter of Edmund Knox, later editor of Punch, and Christina Hicks, daughter of Edward Hicks, the Bishop of Lincoln, and she was one of the first women students at Oxford. (Wik) ***First printing of the true first edition, complete in its original dustwrapper. The Booker Prize winner for 1979. Uncommon in first impression. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

First Edition
First edition. Octavo, pp. [1-4] 5-287 [288], original blue cloth, spine stamped in dark blue. Important proto-feminist scientific romance. Burdekin's "best known novel examines a Nazi-dominated Europe 500 years hence through the eyes of the young German protagonist, who begins to understand that something is perhaps awry in a world where women are breeding-animals and Hitler is deified . a writer of considerable interest. Her work is at times surreptitiously couched, and her message is too often found embedded in romance-fiction plotting, but Burdekin can now be seen as a figure of contemporary interest." - Clute and Nicholls (eds), The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (1993), p. 175. Anatomy of Wonder (1987) 2-21; (1995) 2-26; and (2004) II-278. Clarke, Tale of the Future (1978), p 71. Locke, A Spectrum of Fantasy, pp. 57-8. Sargent, British and American Utopian Literature, 1516-1985, p. 213. Bleiler (1978), p. 48. Reginald 03323. Light foxing to page edges, preliminary and terminal leaves, some darkening to spine panel, a nearly fine copy. A nice copy of a scarce book. (30401).
