Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Full yellow buckram on heavy boards. Number 122 of only 255 copies so issued. Signed underneath the number by the author in black ink. Very good book without dust jacket. A tight clean copy nevertheless, with a sunned spine. Gilt titling has therefore faded a bit. Soft corners and a bit foxed inside, as is usual. The text block is gilt on the trimmed top edge, other edges are handsomely ragged. Very much a collectable despite my description.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
First edition, first impression, of the first book in Lewis's epic trilogy The Human Age, considered by the literary critic Frederic Jameson as "the supreme realization of what has to be called theological science fiction" (Jameson, p. 6). Childermass is the author's most experimental work, and "a veritable summa of [his] narrative modernism" (ibid.). The book follows the adventures of Sattersthwaite and Pullman, two Englishmen killed in the Great War, as they travel through a Dantesque afterlife while awaiting to ascend to The Magnetic City. Chatto & Windus paid Lewis a £200 advance for the complete Childermass, but his failure to produce volumes II and III resulted in a lawsuit. The contract was eventually transferred to Methuen, and the complete trilogy was not published until 1955, when Methuen published Monstre Gai and Malign Fiesta in a single volume. Collectively, these three books constitute Lewis's longest single fictive work, which was dramatized for the BBC Third Programme in 1955. Morrow & Lafourcade A10a. Fredric Jameson, Fables of Aggression: Wyndham Lewis, the Modernist as Fascist, 1981. Octavo. Original yellow cloth, spine lettered in red, red saw-tooth border to covers, top edge yellow, bottom edge untrimmed. With dust jacket. Housed in a reddish-brown solander box. Spine toned, extremities a little rubbed, faint foxing to edges and outer leaves, light offsetting to blanks, contents clean. A very good copy indeed, sharp and fresh in very good jacket, a little rubbed, spine panel toned, faint foxing to verso and flaps, a few minor nicks and couple of short tears, unclipped.

First Edition. 8vo, pp. [8], 322; a fine copy in the publisher's yellow cloth, top edge gilt, no dustjacket; bookplate of Lewis's friend, the BBC broadcaster D. G. Bridson, with scattered marginal notes in pencil for his adaptation for radio, especially at the end; laid in loose are two cuttings of promotional articles by Bridson about the forthcoming broadcasts of The Human Age in 1955, an index of the book in Bridson's hand, and a leaf of the broadcast typescript.First edition, no. 74 of 225 copies of the special edition, signed by Lewis, additionally inscribed, in c. 1951, 'To Geoffrey Bridson (through whom I am enabled to finish this book) deepest thanks and friendliest greetings / Wyndham Lewis'. 'In 1921 Lewis had embarked on another ambitious project, a Rabelaisian fictional anatomy of postwar Britain.' The first portion 'finally and circuitously achieved publication at the end of the decade: The Childermass (1928), a work of theological science fiction set in an encampment of the dead on the banks of the River Styx' (Trotter). When D. G. Bridson first read The Childermass in 1932, he had concluded that 'the setting of the drama is only to be seen convincingly in the imagination. It was that fact, when I reread The Childermass in 1950, that had assured me it would make magnificent radio'. The radio production of 1951 was the genesis of his friendship with Lewis, and their collaboration in turn enabled Lewis to finish the remaining two parts of what became The Human Age, which were funded by the BBC and written specifically with broadcast in mind.The special edition and the ordinary edition (2500 copies, of which 1000 were eventually destroyed) were published simultaneously, on 21 June 1928. Lewis had in fact contracted with Chatto and Windus to finish the trilogy in 1928. They sued him for breach of contract in 1932, ending his association with the firm.
