About This Item
Not to be confused with the British wartime prime minister, the author of this novel is the American writer Winston Churchill (1871-1947). While his most popular works were those of historical fiction set during the American Revolutionary and Civil wars, The Inside of the Cup reflects the tenor of his later works, which focussed on social, political, and religious themes. Originally serialised in Hearst Magazine beginning in 1912, the story has a significant moralising and religious tone intended not merely to entertain but also to instruct readers in the tenants of a form of social Christianity. This volume is missing its dust jacket, but is in Good condition. There is some discolouration to the fabric on the spine, as well as some wear and minor bumping to the corners. There is an old library sticker on the spine. Internally, the front hinge is slightly cracked. There is a bookplate from a previous owner on the endpaper, and the flyleaf has a small newspaper clipping distinguishing the American author from the English politician, which has stained the preceding endpaper. There are also notes in pencil on the endpapers and flyleaf.
