Ownership Signature of Roger Cardinal, VG in slightly rubbed publishers decorated wrappers. Illustrated throughout with Photographs. 1st edition.

He began his career as a lecturer at the French department of the University of Manitoba, Canada, subsequently moving to Warwick University and finally to the University of Kent at Canterbury, where he taught for fifty years and held a professorship.Roger Cardinal was not only a leading authority on Outsider Art, but also on Surrealism. He was a prolific writer and a master of literary style.
