Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. First Edition. A late novel by Henry Green, one of the most distinctive voices in 20th-century British fiction, known for his spare prose and sharp social observation. Doting explores themes of aging, desire, and emotional restraint within the structured world of postwar English society. With its understated style and psychological nuance, the novel reflects Green?s characteristic ability to reveal tension beneath seemingly ordinary lives. DETAILS: +++ Title: Doting +++ Author: Henry Green (1905?1973) +++ Date: 1952 +++ Edition: First American Edition +++ Publisher: The Viking Press, New York +++ Format: Hardcover with dust jacket CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS: +++ A late work in Green?s career, reflecting his mature narrative style +++ Focus on interpersonal relationships, aging, and emotional distance +++ Subtle, dialogue-driven prose with minimal exposition +++ Strong example of mid-century British literary fiction CONDITION: Very Good. The bindings are tight and square. Text is clean; light, even age-toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. Dust jacket is price-clipped with spine fading, edge wear, a chip at the top rear panel, and interior edge tape repair. Historical Context ? Published in the postwar period, Doting reflects the shifting social landscape of mid-20th-century Britain, where class structures and personal relationships were undergoing quiet transformation. Henry Green, a contemporary of writers such as Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene, developed a reputation for his minimalist style and keen ear for dialogue. Though less commercially prominent than some of his peers, Green?s work has gained increasing critical recognition for its modernist tendencies and psychological depth. His novels remain influential among writers and scholars interested in understated narrative technique and the evolution of English fiction after World War II.

Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. First American Edition. A man returns from war to find everything the same - and everything altered. Henry Green transforms a conventional return-from-war narrative into something psychologically fragmented, restrained, and quietly unsettling - a novel concerned less with action than with emotional aftershocks. Contemporary praise from Brendan Gill, Christopher Isherwood, and Charles Poore situates Green among the major English stylists of the mid-century period. The novel follows Loving in Green's sequence of fiction and had not previously appeared in America before this Viking edition. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Green textured cloth with red-orange spine and front titles. Octavo; 8 inches tall. Pages 3-247. Original dust jacket present. Viking Press imprint, 1950. Jacket rear panel with contemporary reviews of Loving and Nothing. CONDITION: Very Good / Good . Bindings are tight and square. Text is clean; light, even age-toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. Dust jacket is price-clipped with a sunned spine, light spine-tip wear, and a fold to the upper front panel. Several small pencil reading notes and corresponding marginal ticks appear in the text, likely in the hand of publisher Ben Raeburn, from whose estate the volume originated. A solid and attractive copy with meaningful literary provenance interest. This copy is from the estate of Horizon Press publisher Ben Raeburn and retains several small pencil reading notes on the rear endpage with corresponding marginal ticks, likely in Raeburn's hand. The annotations are restrained and editorial in character rather than intrusive, adding subtle literary association interest without overwhelming the text. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - Henry Green, the pen name of Henry Vincent Yorke, became one of the most admired yet elusive English novelists of the twentieth century. Writers including W. H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood praised his compressed dialogue and psychologically indirect style. Back, first published in England in 1946, stands among the earliest important English novels to examine the emotional dislocation of returning prisoners of war. Through fragmented dialogue and emotional restraint, Green presents post-war England as a landscape of absence, altered relationships, and uncertainty. Charley Summers' attempt to reconnect the living with the dead creates a novel both intimate and dreamlike, now regarded as one of Green's finest post-war works. SUBJECTS: Henry Green, British Modernism, Post-War England, Prisoners of War, Psychological Fiction, Viking Press, Twentieth-Century Fiction, Literary Association Copies, Ben Raeburn Provenance, English Literature, British Literature, Modernism, Post-War Fiction, Literary Fiction. …

Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. 1st Edition. POLITE CONVERSATION HIDING EVERYTHING A first American edition of Nothing, one of Henry Green's late novels, presenting a sharply observed portrait of postwar English society where meaning emerges through what is left unsaid as much as spoken. Set in London's Mayfair, the novel unfolds through dialogue-driven scenes in which manners, evasions, and social rituals carry the narrative. Green's distinctive style strips away conventional exposition, allowing tone, silence, and implication to shape character and tension. Collectors value the work as part of Green's mature period, where his minimalist technique reaches full control. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Cloth binding with stamped spine titles. Octavo format; 8 inches tall. Pagination: [3]-250 pages. Issued with dust jacket. CONDITION: Very Good / Good. Bindings are tight and secure. Text is clean; light, even age-toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. Dust jacket is price-clipped with minor spine tip loss and general shelf wear. Now protected in a new Mylar sleeve. First Edition, First Printing [First American]. CONTEXTUAL SIGNIFICANCE - Published in 1950, Nothing reflects the transition of British society in the aftermath of World War II, particularly within upper-class London circles. Green, himself both industrialist and writer, captures the dislocation and continuity of social codes during this period. There has been no major film adaptation. Nothing presents Green's late-career refinement of the social novel, where plot recedes and language becomes the primary vehicle of meaning. The novel reflects a postwar cultural moment in which class, identity, and emotional reserve are negotiated through surface interactions. Its controlled style rewards attentive reading, offering insight into both character and social structure through omission and rhythm. SUBJECTS: British literature, postwar fiction, London society, Mayfair, social class, dialogue-driven narrative, twentieth-century fiction, psychological fiction, Modernist fiction; Literary fiction.

Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. A cornerstone of 20th-century British Modernism. This celebrated work of mid-century British fiction captures the intricate power dynamics between servants and masters in a remote Irish castle during World War II. Widely regarded as Green's finest achievement, the novel utilizes a highly stylized prose and innovative dialogue to explore the class anxieties and romantic entanglements of a world on the brink of collapse. This 1949 Viking issue represents the immediate American reception of one of the 20th century's most distinctive literary voices. KEY FEATURES +++ Visuals: Dust jacket designed by the Hungarian-American artist IIonka Karasz, known for her prolific 'New Yorker' covers. +++ Binding: Full bright blue cloth with silver-gilt spine lettering; top edge tinted. +++ Content: A novel of domestic life and class conflict set in Kitzebury Castle. +++ Imprint: The Viking Press, New York, 1949 (Fourth Printing). +++ Specs: 8 inches tall; 248 pages. CONDITION +++ THE BOOK: The cloth is bright and clean. The bindings are tight and square, holding the 248-page text block firmly. The internal pages are clean and free of markings, showing only light, even age-toning. The front endpapers exhibit a distinct rectangular patch of toning, a classic 'ghost' transfer from a now-absent news-clipping. +++ DUST JACKET: The Karasz-designed jacket is present and remains vibrant, though it is price-clipped. It shows mild edge wear to the extremities, including a small closed tear on the upper edge near the letter 'L' in the title. Now preserved in a clear, archival protective sleeve. SCHOLARLY FEATURES +++ Literary Style: Serves as a primary example of Green's 'non-representative' dialogue and his rejection of traditional narrative interiority. +++ Socio-Historical Context: Captures the 'Emergency' (World War II in Ireland) from the unique perspective of displaced British servants. +++ Modernist Lineage: Henry Green is frequently cited by modern writers like Eudora Welty and Terry Southern as a foundational influence on the development of the psychological novel. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - Henry Green, the nom de plume of the industrialist Henry Vincent Yorke, was a 'writer's writer' who balanced a career in manufacturing with the creation of some of the most linguistically experimental novels of the 1930s and 40s. 'Loving' was the book that broke Green's work to a wider American audience. While his earlier works remained niche, this 1949 Viking edition-part of a coordinated effort to publish his 'back catalogue' in the US-cemented his status as a major international figure. The dust jacket artist, IIonka Karasz, was a central figure in the modernist design movement in New York; her work here provides a visual bridge between European avant-garde aesthetics and American commercial publishing. SUBJECTS: British Fiction, World War II, Ireland, Servant Life, Class Conflict, Modernism, Modernist Literature, Anglo-Irish Literature.…

Adventurous in technique, warmly human and humorous in its material, Mr. Green's second novel shows him already a master of dialogue'. (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper - interesting as Henry Green had at that time published eight novels, so the publisher probably used the original 'blurb' from the 1929 edition) ***'Henry Green was the pen name of Henry Vincent Yorke (29 Oct 1905 - 13 Dec 1973), an English writer best remembered for the novels "Party Going", "Living" and "Loving". He published a total of nine novels between 1926 and 1952.' ***'"Living" is a work of sharp social observation, documenting the lives of Birmingham factory workers in the inter-war boom years. It is considered a modern classic by scholars, and appears on many university syllabi. The language is notable for its deliberate lack of conjunctives to reflect a Birmingham accent. As well, very few articles are used, allegedly to mimic foreign languages (such as Arabic) that use them infrequently. It is considered a work of Modernist literature. The novel has been acclaimed for making Green "an honorary member of a literary movement to which he never belonged", i.e. the genre of proletarian literature. Despite his class origin and politics, the novel has been acclaimed as "closer to the world of the working class than those of some socialist or worker-writers themselves"' (Wiki) ***A beautiful copy of the second edition of Henry Green's second novel "Living". Copies of this edition are very hard to find now in the original dustwrapper, and especially so in such nice condition. Of interest to collectors of the work of Henry Green and the Hogarth Press. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. …
