Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket by Leonard Rosoman (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Ex hospital library with stamps, bookplates and defects. Some edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly rubbed, spine slightly spotted and faded. Not price clipped (15s), no personal inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall not a bad copy for ex library. 239pp. Turning from poetry to prose, Stephen Spender (1909-95), chooses the novel form to tell a story of lonely disenchantment. 'Engaged in Writing' depicts an international writers' conference which meets, full of high zeal, in Venice, to discuss international understanding. Representatives of every contemporary political, literary and philosophical school are present, with factions impotently trying to communicate and never achieving even surface understanding. 'The Fool and the Princess' tells the story of a self educated young Englishman, who during his service in a DP camp in Germany becomes infatuated with himself as an intellectual and further projects this infatuation to a female DP, with whom he compares his womanly and somewhat oppressed wife, to his wife's disadvantage.

(Dustwrapper lightly faded on spine, minimally rubbed at edges.) A fine copy in a very good dustwrapper. ¶¶¶First edition, no. 374 of 400 copies, signed and numbered by the author. A collection of four poems -- 'From my Diary', 'Late Stravinsky Listening to Late Beethoven', 'Winter in May', and 'A Girl who has Drowned Herself Speaks' -- published in the sixty-ninth year of Spender's life, and its last phase, a period marked by the deaths of (i.a.) Auden in 1973 and Connolly in 1974; Spender's retirement from his chair in English at University College, London in 1975; and the publication of the partially-autobiographical volume The Thirties and After; Poetry, Politics, People (1933-1975) in 1978. David Leeming comments that, '[t]he most important of the four poems [in Recent Poems] is "Late Stravinsky Listening to Late Beethoven", dedicated to Sacheverell Sitwell, who had died recently and who in the poem is implicitly identified with the dying Stravinsky' (Stephen Spender: A Life in Modernism). ¶¶¶FURTHER INFORMATION: please contact us for further information about this item and prices for shipping.
