James Hanley

At Bay

London, Faber and Faber, 1944. First edition. Cloth. James Hanley's collection of short stories, including 'Jacob' and 'People are Curious&apos. A first edition. James Hanley was a British novelist, short story writer, and playwright from Kirkdale, Liverpool, Lancashire, of Irish descent. Hanley came from a seafaring family and spent two years at sea himself, during World War I. He published his first novel Drift in 1930. In the 1930s and 1940s his novels and short stories focussed on seamen and their families, and included Boy (1931), the subject of an obscenity trial. After World War II there was less emphasis on the sea in his works. While frequently praised by critics, Hanley's novels did not sell well. In the late 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s he wrote plays, mainly for the BBC, for radio and then for television, and also for the theatre. He returned to the novel in the 1970s. His last novel, A Kingdom, was published in 1978, when he was eighty. His brother Gerald was also a novelist. In a cloth binding with original unclipped dustwrapper. Externally, very smart. Some fading to the edges and shelfwear to the spine. Minor edgewear to the dustwrapper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages have light age toning and clean. Near Fine . Ill.: None. Near Fine/Near Fine.
