'With the Publishers' Compliments embossed to title page. Sunned spine to cloth. Red cloth with gilt lettering. With a Memoir by the Rev. W. K. R. Bedford. The materials of which the present work is made up consist of authograph letters to Mr. Sharpe to his mother and other members of his familyl of rough drafts of letters in his own handwriting; of various fragmentary memoranda, also authograph; and of letters to Mr. Sharpe, almost all in the originals. In addition to these, a note-book of mr. Sharpe, into which he had copies his more important correspondence from 1810 to 1815, with a few entries of a later date, has furnished a number of the most complete and interesting letters in both volumes. Mr. Sharpe's correspondence naturally divides itself into two parts: the letters connected with his residence at Oxford, and with the friendships which he had formed there; and those belonging to his Edinburgh life, when he had in a great measure retired from society and devoted himself to literary, artistic, and antiquarian pursuits.

	WALTER ALLEN Tradition and Dream. The English and American Novel From the Twenties to Our Time. London England, Phoenix House, 1968.

Very slight shelf wear to top and bottom of spine of D/J. Price clipped to D/J. In this book the author considers the story of the development of English and American fiction from the nineteen-twenties to prominent writers of our time - in fact from the days of Joyce and Lawrence to such contemporary writers as Kingsley Amis and iris Murdoch. In following the significant growth of American fiction in the same period, this book deals with such famous names as Dreiser, Sherwood Anderson and Willa Cather, concluding with William Styron, Bernard Malamud, Flannery O'Connor and others. This section of the book is therefore probably the first survey of modern American fiction by an English critic, the author discussing a number of important American novelists as yet almost unknown in this country in the course of its pages. 346 pp. ( We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. etc.) .

'With the Publishers' Compliments embossed to title page. Sunned spine to cloth. Red cloth with gilt lettering. With a Memoir by the Rev. W. K. R. Bedford. The materials of which the present work is made up consist of authograph letters to Mr. Sharpe to his mother and other members of his familyl of rough drafts of letters in his own handwriting; of various fragmentary memoranda, also authograph; and of letters to Mr. Sharpe, almost all in the originals. In addition to these, a note-book of mr. Sharpe, into which he had copies his more important correspondence from 1810 to 1815, with a few entries of a later date, has furnished a number of the most complete and interesting letters in both volumes. Mr. Sharpe's correspondence naturally divides itself into two parts: the letters connected with his residence at Oxford, and with the friendships which he had formed there; and those belonging to his Edinburgh life, when he had in a great measure retired from society and devoted himself to literary, artistic, and antiquarian pursuits.

Very slight shelf wear to top and bottom of spine of D/J. Price clipped to D/J. In this book the author considers the story of the development of English and American fiction from the nineteen-twenties to prominent writers of our time - in fact from the days of Joyce and Lawrence to such contemporary writers as Kingsley Amis and iris Murdoch. In following the significant growth of American fiction in the same period, this book deals with such famous names as Dreiser, Sherwood Anderson and Willa Cather, concluding with William Styron, Bernard Malamud, Flannery O'Connor and others. This section of the book is therefore probably the first survey of modern American fiction by an English critic, the author discussing a number of important American novelists as yet almost unknown in this country in the course of its pages. 346 pp. ( We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. etc.) .
