ORWELL (George), editor. & [CONNOR (William)., "CASSANDRA".]
The English at War.

No. 4 in the Searchlight Books essays series, edited by Orwell and T.R. Fyvel. A rather scare wartime publication, with the printing being affected by a bomb that hit the Warburg offices in April 1941. This reprint was produced only a month after the first edition.

Provenance: From the library of Orwell scholar and former UCL deputy librarian Ian Angus. Angus was the co-editor of Orwell’s Collected Journalism, Essays and Letters published in 1968 and also later contributed to editing the enormous 20-volume edition of Orwell’s Complete Works published 1997-8.

A very good copy, dust jacket a bit browned and dust soiled, some wear to edges. Minor foxing to endpapers, edges of pages rather browned.
