London: William Heinemann, 1930. A few stains on cloth, ends of spine lightly frayed. 8vo. Original green gilt-lettered cloth. First edition. Presentation copy, inscribed on the front free endpaper: "Inscribed for F. Richardson very cordially by John Galsworthy Oct. 6. 1930." The novel deals mostly with the older Forsytes before the events chronicled in The Man of Property. Galsworthy states in a foreword that "They have all been written since Swan Song was finished but in place they come between the Saga and the Comedy ..." By way of explanation he writes that "It is hard to part suddenly and finally from those with whom one has lived so long; and these footnotes do really, I think, help to fill in and round out the chronicles of the Forsyte family.

From the Bart Auerbach Collection. Together 2 pages, 4to, single-spaced. In the TNS of Jan. 16 Gardner writes that he did receive the copy of Martin's novel 'The Stolen Jew'. The TLS of July 13 is devoted to Gardner's explanation of why he can't write a letter to the 'New York Times' to complain about the negative review the book received: "... Though the review's dumb, it doesn't seem to me pernicious... I already have a reputation as a literary hit man, which I hate to give increasing evidence for... the review of 'The Stolen Jew' doesn't seem [really harsh], just stupid. I don't think it damages you; it merely fails to help you. (With Bellow [sic] and Roth, you're failing in very good company, if the review makes you seem to fail)..." (BA).

Description:
London, 1939. From the Bart Auerbach Collection. 28 pages, 8vo, and 4 holograph preliminary pages and manuscript cover. Greenish-blue wrappers. John Gawsworth (1912-1970) had an active career as a literary editor, bibliographer, lecturer, archivist, and most of all, poet. He also served in the RAF in various European, North African, and Indian stations during World War II. He also achieved some celebrity as the second King of Redonda, though his later years were clouded by acute alcoholism and attendant poverty. Nevertheless, his career was prodigiously productive, with a long series of volumes of his poems appearing in print from 1933 onwards. As a young writer he moved in London literary circles championing traditional verse as opposed to the ascendant Modernism (a fact that led to his inclusion in the 1936 anthology Edwardian Poets). The first of the preliminaries notes, in Gawsworth's hand: "The Original MS of 'New Poems', the volume for which The Academic Committee of the Royal Society of…
