ORWELL (George), editor. &
CALDER (Ritchie).
The Lesson of London.
No. 3 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.
Provenance: From the library of Orwell scholar and former UCL deputy librarian Ian Angus, with his neat pencilled ownership to the front free endpaper. 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.
