Final page (additional , p.[170]) includes a list of "Author's suggestions" for settings. With a sprinkling of corrections and additions….Opposite p.38 (beginning of Act II set in the Foyer of the St James's Theatre, an illustration from a Max Beerbohm book ("Some Persons of the Nineties"), with names from Wilde to Mallarme, 10 names presumably in Furnell's hand. Enclosed: a typed information slip prepared by the Collector, Barry Duncan, presumably before the book was published in 1955, because it doesn't mention it. He also says "Not in BDL. Not performed?" The book (and this text presumably) formed the basis for "The Trials of Oscar Wilde" with Peter Finch, 1960. WITH: Typed Letter Signed "P. Macqueen" after typing "Phyllis Macqueen. | "Jouhn Furnell", two pages, 12mo, foxed, closed tears and chipped but text complete and clear as follows: She asks to call him "Popey" because that's how she thinks of him after his TV appearances. She has put aside the published version for him but understands that the published "Rider", has already sent one to him. She has derived great pleasure from his talks. "What wonderful memories you must have, and jow dull and commonplace the present generation must seem to you." She then discusses her play about Oscar Wilde as follows: "'THE STRINGED LUTE' was originally written as a Play, then re-written as a play-novel. Now it has beed re-arranged as a Play in four Acts, & we hope to see it produced as a play or a film. I was wondering if you'd be so very kind as to advise me where to send it? You have such wide experience in these matters, about which I know absolutely nothing. But of course its always been my dream to see THE STRINGED LUTE as a full length production at Drury Lane with an all star cast, and someone of Ustinoff's [sic] calibre as Oscar! Not that I think for a moment that this will materialise into fact - but one never knows! " If he's interested she'll send a copy "at once". She continues "I know I've ansolutely no right to trespass on your time and your kindness like this, but hope taht you will forgive my doing so. | I think the book is doing quite well. Hesketh Pearson liked it - and the Psychic Press has awarded it a 'Psychic Oscar'! Or so I believe. Also Rider's [publishers] tell me that America is interested. [.]".

Aggiungi al carrellovellum. Condizione: Very Good. First edition thus. One of 500 unnumbered copies "for private circulation only, among friends and subscribers". Full vellum line and lettered in black, title on spine and large "O.W." on front cover. Top edge stained red and other edges uncut. Title page printed in red and black. Translated into En…glish by Sebastian Melmoth (pseudonym of Oscar Wilde). This is now considered to be a spurious Wilde piece; the Paris bookseller who printed it, Charles Carrington, apparently invented the Wilde connection in order to spur sales. The four page foreword has Wilde (who had died two years earlier) as its subject. A tight, very good or a bit better example, spine a bit darkened and some very light soilning to the vellum. Carrington's bookshop label is affixed to the rear free endpaper.
