About this Item
First Edition. 8vo, publisher's original blue cloth lettered in gilt on the upper cover and spine. 311 pp. An uncommonly well preserved copy, the cloth with only very minor mellowing. RARE FIRST EDITION of these essays and observations on Italy and Italians by one of the most "Continental" English writers of the period. It was also D.H. Lawrence's first work of nonfictional prose. It was written at what many have called the height of his creative genius and these seven short pieces sparkle with both humor and sensuality. The English issue by Duckworth had a total print run of only 1500 copies. In his bibliography published in 1925 Edward MacDonald already referred to the first edition as scarce and stated that fine copies were virtually impossible. "Be that as it may, TWILIGHT IN ITALY is worth having in any condition." - MacDonald. Seller Inventory # 32559
