About This Item
[London: Duckworth, 1973. Brown cloth, gilt spine. Frontispiece portrait. Eleven black & white photos and facsimiles. Edited by Dennis Proctor, with a Foreword by Noel Annan. Rubbing to shelf edge, else good in a good dust jacket with some minor flaring at top edge. Bookplate of William Beekman to front pastedown.
First edition. E. M. Forster's official 1934 biography of "Goldie" Dickinson suppressed a great deal of what is contained in this autobiography due its frank and intimate nature. "Underneath this quiet exterior lay the agony of what he himself described as 'a woman's soul shut up in a man's body.'" He loved five heterosexual men who could only offer him affectionate friendship, Roger Fry, and Ferdinand Schiller among others.
