Cloth, top edge of textblock green, double gilt vertical filet on front board, patterned endpapers, 8vo, 24 cm, 400p,17 plates. Ills (including 1 colour), map. From the blurb - "The grandson of an Irish member of Parliament widely believed to have been the original for the character of Phineas Finn, James Pope Hennessy has writt…en the liveliest, fullest and most absorbing study of Anthony Trollope. Brought up by his father, a gentleman bankrupt, Trollope endured a childhood of poverty and neglect while his mother struggled to support the family with various literary enterprises. He was sent as a day-boy to Harrow where he was persecuted by his more prosperous schoolfellows. Appointed to a junior clerkship in the General Post Office in 1834, he spent his early manhood in loneliness and debt. After obtaining a position as post-office inspector in Ireland, his prospects began to improve; he wrote his first, initially unsuccessful, novels and got married. Travelling extensively on G.P.O. business, he gained an unrivalled knowledge of Ireland at the time of the Great Famine and, subsequently, of rural England, while his life's achievements included the invention of the pillar-box. Anthony Trollope is both biographical and critical, assessing the relative values of Trollope's novels and emphasizing that his later and now seldom read - books are, in fact, among the best he ever wrote. Mr Pope Hennessy relates the plots and characters to experiences in the novelist's life, in particular investigating for the first time the profound effect of his eighteen-year sojourn in Ireland. He examines as well Trollope's feelings about Victorian High Society and his enjoyment of his travels throughout the West Indies, the United States, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The book pays tribute to Trollope's genius as an interpreter of a now remote age, presenting him as one of the most brilliant English witnesses and recorders of life during the later decades of Queen Victoria's reign. Lavishly illustrated, with many pictures by such artists as Millais taken from first editions of Trollope's works, this volume presents both a new interpretation of a great writer and a colourful panorama of his period. It is James Pope Hennessy's finest achievement since his bestselling biography of Queen Mary. " Good in used dustwrapper.

From the author's introductory note: ". in this book Eton means Eton of my school-time, in the nineties of the last century, and never Eton of any later day. Many and close as my ties with Eton have always been and stil…l are, I have no title to speak of the school from my own knowledge, save in respect of the years when I was a boy there; and it is to those years alone that I refer. Nor have I spoken of the living, but only of friends who have vanished since the days that I recall." Boards marked and slightly splayed.

Cloth, 8vo, 25 cm, 351 pp, 24 plates, maps, facs. From the blurb: "On New Year's Day 1921 Herbert Jonathan Cape and G. Wren Howard 'hung out their shingle' in Gower Street, Bloomsbury, and in partnership opened for business as Jonathan Cape, Publisher. They had met the year before while working for Lee Warner at the Medici Socie…ty, with whom their first book, a new edition of Doughty's Travels in Arabia Deserta introduced by T. E. Lawrence, was jointly published. They issued it on January 15th, and one week later engaged the services of Edward Garnett, in his day the most perceptive of publishers' advisers. Bertie Cape, who had only recently begun to use his second name, was already over forty when the firm to which he gave it was founded. He maintained with authors the kind of personal relationships that could mean - as with Hemingway - agreeing terms on the backs of postcards and signing contracts years after books were published. He had started his career in the book trade at the age of sixteen as an office boy with Hatchards, the Piccadilly bookseller. He was eighty when he died, still chairman of what had become a famous publishing house. Bob Howard, a canny businessman with a craftsman's eye for book design, set new standards which gave the books he published a unique distinction. He survived Jonathan Cape by eight years, and at his death his son Michael succeeded him as chairman. To mark the fiftieth anniversary of the firm, Michael Howard has written this account of its development. His book draws on previously un- published letters, private documents and personal recollections to record this archetypal story of the whole course of publishing, its rivalries and tensions, over half a century. " Inscribed compliments slip from the publisher Graham Carleton Greene on front free endpaper, booklabel and presentation label from Jonathan Cape on front free endpaper, Very Good in slightly marked dustwrapper.
