About This Item
Paris: Edward W. Titus, 1932. First edition, LIMITED being one of only 500 numbered copies for subscribers of a total printing of only 550. With two facsimile manuscript pages from LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER, Paris edition. 8vo, publisher's original black cloth, the upper cover and spine lettered in gilt. 146. A very good and handsome copy, the text essentially fine with just a bit of general toning and that being quite minor. The black cloth a bit lightened to charcoal on the spine panel as is common and with only very minor age evident. NIN'S FIRST BOOK, AND HER ONLY CRITICAL WORK. Nin wrote the book as a assessment of her literary hero; D. H. Lawrence. It was highly unusual at the time because very few women had ever publicly praised Lawrence; his works often being deemed near pornographic and in several cases banned for sexual content. More importunely though, the book was published at a time when readers were turning their backs on Lawrence and he was at risk of being essentially forgotten. The work was well received, and Nin would always site Lawrence as one of her foremost inspirations.
