Both these developments have stimulated interest in fresh aspects not only of literature but also of the other arts, and "New Writing" found that further needs were arising which demanded to be met as urgently as the old. It is for this reason that with the present number a New Series has been inaugurated with several additional features to extend its scope: "New Writing" believes that a living publication should grow as life itself grows and changes.' (Quote taken from the editors' Foreword) ***First printing of the true first edition, published in 1938, with a complete original dustwrapper. Uncommon thus. ***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. …

Hardcover. Condition: New. Special Edition. PERFECT, unread, still sealed, this is an heirloom production by a superb small press of a masterpiece that deserves a place on every readers shelf. Selected and introduced by William Trevor. Illustrated by Clifford Harper. Bound in cloth. Printed and blocked with a design by Clifford Harper. Set in Goudy. Frontispiece and 10 colour illustrations.He is a writer who delineates a unique world, and the vivid genius of his voice, encompassing so many other voices seedy, lush, excitable takes only a line or two to make itself felt SPECTATOR People are always in a state of regret said V. S. Pritchett, and indeed, an air of melancholy, of wasted purpose and missed opportunities hangs like an English mist over many of his stories. In A Trip to the Seaside, a retired, widowed salesman visits his old secretary hoping to rekindle a romance, only to uncover uncomfortable truths about both the present and a past he has suppressed. In Tea with Mrs Bittell, an older, well-to-do woman condescends to invite a younger man outside her own class to tea, spurred by their apparent mutual disappointments in life. Pritchett skilfully evokes the tiny acts of courage, betrayal and deception that make up the petty tragedies of ordinary life. In his dense, many-layered tales, whole vistas exist just beyond the storys confines; characters and plot linger in the mind long after the final page is turned. Hilda in When My Girl Comes Home is feared dead in a Japanese POW camp. Only her mother keeps faith, and slaves to save money for her lost daughter. Hilda returns at last, well-groomed and sleek, talking of the man who will write a book of her life. Is she a fantasist? A whore, as other women whisper? Or a loving daughter desperate for a chance of freedom and happiness? In The Camberwell Beauty, the beautiful but damaged Isabel has married an elderly antiques dealer: He likes to look at me. I am the most precious thing he has. That isnt love, cries the narrator, but his own passion mirrors the antique dealers lust to possess anothers treasure. Pritchett inspired generations of short-story writers, and William Trevor is one of many to acknowledge a debt. Trevor has personally selected and introduced 25 stories for this collection, taken from every stage in Pritchetts luminous career. One of the greatest short story writers England has ever produced INDEPENDENT Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng.…
