BOWEN (Elizabeth).
The Last September.
BOWEN'S "GREATEST NOVEL", INSCRIBED AND WITH THE RARE JACKET
Boldly inscribed by the author ‘John from Elizabeth March 1931’ in black ink to the front free endpaper.
Bowen’s ‘greatest novel’, portraying an ‘Anglo-Irish family clinging to its way of life in the midst of the Troubles of 1920, and ends with the execution of the Big House by rebel arsonists’ (Maud Ellmann, Elizabeth Bowen: The Shadow Across the Page, p. 41).
A very good copy, faint scattered foxing to outer leaves with some occasional isolated instances of faint spotting to contents, light wear to corners, with a supplied near fine example of the vanishingly rare original dust jacket, which emanated from a collection of jackets removed from their books when new, only minor creasing along the top edge.
