He has been left by his actress wife, and has settled for a kind of success - esteem within his faculty, an excellent book or two, a handsome house, a refusal to involve himself deeply with other people. ***When his professor suggests that a young woman academic might benefit from his help, and at the same time both his former wife makes contact and Harrington meets Anne, his relatively unsophisticated neighbour, the stage is set for major changes in his life. but will he be able to respond to them?' ***'We need Stanley Middleton to remind us of what the novel is about.' -Ronald Blythe ***'At first glance, or even at second, Stanley Middleton's world is easily recognizable. His novels are set in the Midlands and his men and women are mostly drawn from the middle classes, schoolmasters, solicitors, businessmen, often with their roots in that older, chapel-going, confined culture described and fulminated against by Lawrence's visionaries and David Storey's uprooted painters. The excellence of art, for Middleton, is an exact vision of real things as they are. And because he is himself so exact an observer, his world at third glance can seem strange and disturbing or newly and brilliantly lit with colour.' - A. S.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. In 1976 Stanley Middleton won the Booker Prize. He was a prolific writer who built up his readership with his addictable prose style and his ability to make the ordinary extraordinary. Ronald Blythe wrote We need Stanley Middleton to remind us what the novel is about. And Isobel Quigley wrote, A rocklike example of excellence. His signed first editions are much valued and sought out by the discerning collector, and this is a superb example. It is simply signed, without a dedication, on the title page, and the book is in an unread condition, and inside a perfect protected jacket.
