Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. "The Mint : A Miscellany of Literature, Art and Criticism", as edited by Geoffrey Grigson, was published by George Routledge and Sons. It is eclectic in its choices, but that eclecticism managed to include a number of strikingly important writers and thinkers of the immediate post Second World War intellectual Scene. There is a brief blurb on the dust-jacket, from which the following is excerpted : " THE MINT is an international miscellany of humanism, aiming to collect articles, poems, stories which have more than the topicality of the day. Another of its aims is to bring together the divorced couple of our time ? scholarship and original writing." CONTENTS -- * Martin Buber : The Education of Character * W. H. Auden : Four Poems * Seán O'Casey : The Raid * Graham Greene : Convoy to West Africa * Geoffrey Matthews : Five Poems * E. J. Scovill : Three Poems * Anthony West : The Precious Myth * Geoffrey Grigson : William Barnes * Rhys Davies : A Drop pf Dew * W. J. Turner : The Theme of Love * Nikolaus Pevsner : the Architecture of Mannerism (13 halftone black-and-white photographs arranged in a discrete section) * Owen Barfield : The Psalms of David * John Clare : Poems and Fragments (Not previously published) * H. W. Häusermann : W. B. Yeats's Idea of Shelley * James T. Farrell : The Language of Hollywood * Christopher Salmon : Broadcasting, Speech, and Writing TITLE : The Mint : A Miscellany of Literature, Art, and Criticism EDITOR : Geoffrey Grigson (1905 - 1985 - British poet, writer, editor, critic, exhibition curator, anthologist and naturalist) AUTHORS : W.

Text-block edges are clean. BINDING -- The book has obviously been read and thus the leaves open readily, however no leaves are detached or loose and the whole remains fairly solid.
