Item description from seller

173 pages. 140 grams. This book is in good condition marked only by previous owner's inscription on first page and a little wear to cover. 'The first major critical and analytical study of Durrell's total work.' 'Lawrence Durrell, whose superb tetralogy The Alexandria Quartet immediately established his reputation as one of the most important and exciting writers of our time, is the subject of this first major critical and analytical study. The early novels, the travel books, the books of humorous sketches, the plays, and, of course, the great Quartet - all are discussed here in depth. The importance of Durrell's poetry, by which he first became known, is also stressed. Such critical influences on the young Durrell as his friendship with Henry Miller and the impact of the Mediterranean world are assessed against the background so vividly in the controversial Black Book. Durrell's re-creation of Alexandria in the Quartet is sharply traced in all its intricacies in three chapters. The author has also included a chronology of Durrell's life and career and a very useful selected bibliography. The reader will find this to be an invaluable, penetrating study of a "professional writer" whose brilliant, continuing career in all its facets is here brought into focus for the first time.' 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Illustrator: Davis, Paul. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Fiction, Modern.; Pictures of this item not already displayed here available upon request. Inventory No: 000279.…
