Item description from seller

A smart first edition of this intriguing study into a lesser known period of Shakespeare's life, during which the author proposes he spent as a soldier. The first edition, first impression of this work.With the publisher's original unclipped dust wrapper.'Sergeant Shakespeare' offers a close study of the military metaphor in Shakespeare's works, and pursues the evidence that Shakespeare was a military man in the lesser known years of his early manhood.Written by Duff Cooper, a British Conservative Party politician and diplomat who was also a military and political historian. In the original cloth binding. With the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, with damp stains to the boards, otherwise only minor shelf wear. Dust wrapper is smart, with edge wear and sunning to the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean, with only light spotting to the endpapers. Very Good.
