In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. A LAST DIARY BY W.N.P. BARBELLION. I am pleased to be able to offer a nice copy of: A Last Diary, by W.N.P. Barbellion, a sequel to his earlier work The Journal of a Disappointed Man. Although the Preface of this book (about 48 pages in length), written by his brother, Arthur J. Cummings…, is extensive and explains the Author and his work, I was also able to find a short reference to him on Wikipedia, a portion of which I cite here for your fuller information: Wilhelm Nero Pilate Barbellion was the nom-de-plume of Bruce Frederick Cummings (7 September 1889 22 October 1919), an English diarist who was responsible for The Journal of a Disappointed Man. It has been called "among the most moving diaries ever created," and is considered a classic of English Literature. This small hard cover book (5 ¼ x 7 ½ inches, 148 pages) was published by George H. Doran Company of New York, undated. The book is bound in a tan tweed cloth with a paper paste-down title panel on the spine. Words only, no illustrations! Condition: This book is in very good condition. The hard covers are slightly dust-dulled but without any real soiling with the exception of what appears to be a small ink smudge on the paper title label of the spine. The boards are barely bumped. Inside, I believe someone has removed the first blank page as the book now opens with the half-title page and one can see a torn edge in the gutter. The endpapers are foxed, probably from the effect of the binding glues but fortunately this does not extend into the interior pages. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.

First impression of the true first edition. ***Very good in black cloth-covered boards with black titles on paper label to spine. The paper label is worn with some loss.

With two interesting period bookplates on the front pastedown and front free endpaper. With the contemporary ownership name in pencil 'R. N. Green-Armytage' 1919. The bookplate on the pastedown is from the same original owner, and is designed by G. H. Holloway 1915. ***R. N. Green-Armytage was an English lawyer. He and his wife had a life long interest in the arts, including both writing about and performing in the theatre in the Bristol, Clifton, Weston super Mare area. There is also a date stamp in violet ink '20Nov1919' to the rear pastedown, showing the purchase date of the original owner. ***The bookplate on the front free endpaper is from a second owner Ann Ridler. Small stains to the front and rear endpapers otherwise the internal pages are clean [see scans].

He published his diary-style essays in the book "The Journal of a Disappointed Man" in March 1919, seven months before he died, apparently, of multiple sclerosis. An editor's note at the very end of the book claimed that Barbellion died on 31 Dec 1917, but Cummings in fact lived for nearly two more years. He died on 22 Oct 1919 at home in Camden Cottage, Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, having recently approved the proofs of his second short volume of memoirs, "'Enjoying Life and Other Literary Remains"; a third brief volume of his very last entries, "A Last Diary", appeared in 1920. His identity was made public through his obituaries in various newspapers, at which point his brother Henry R. Cummings gave a newspaper interview providing details of the life of "Barbellion". The strong early sales and the admiration received by 'The Journal of a Disappointed Man' are largely forgotten by the wider reading public today, but the book has been frequently reprinted in paperback and is regarded as a classic of English literature. [Wiki] ***Bruce Frederick Cummings (1889-1919), was an English diarist. Ronald Blythe called "The Journal of a Disappointed Man" "among the most moving diaries ever created". The diary is a literary classic and Bruce Frederick Cummings' modernist style of writing has been compared to that of Franz Kafka and James Joyce. The diary is also read by people affected by multiple sclerosis and by those who want to know more about MS, as it contains a well-portrayed account of his symptoms.
