About This Item
London: Jonathan Cape, 1929. pp 316 Biography of Scottish clergyman and theologian John Knox (1514-1572), based largely on his own writings, which aims to "give a critical account of a representative Calvinist and Puritan". A very good first edition signed by the author Edwin Muir and G M Thompson to the front free end paper. Very good in fresh burgundy cloth, slight spine lean, the text is fine. Scottish author Edwin Muir is better known for his poetry and for translations, along with his wife Willa, of German authors such as Franz Kafka.
