About This Item
[London, ca 1957].. 10 leaves. Clean carbon typescript, quarto, on rectos only, stapled at upper left. Accompanied by a folio galley sheet, on proofing paper, with a handful of corrections. An extended review of the COMPLETE WORKS OF NATHANAEL WEST, published in the UK in 1957. The format of the galley suggests it may have been contributed to the TLS, but Walsdorf & Allen do not record the periodical appearance of any essay on West by Symons, so at first glance it is difficult to be certain. White records the essay's appearance in book form in CRITICAL OCCASIONS (1966), and Walsdorf & Allen do record the 1994 appearance of an essay by Symons in CRITICAL ESSAYS ON NATHANAEL WEST (1994, their E71). There are a number of small ink tinkerings and corrections in Symons' hand on the galley.
