Author: Stanley Revell [foreword]; T. S. Eliot
Title: &Apos;Not in Gallup&Apos;
Description: Oxford , Perpetua Press, 1988. Paperback. A limited reprinting of T. S. Eliot's preface to Charles Claye's play 'The Merry Masque', a nearly unknown piece of his writing. A limited edition of one hundred and fifty numbered copies, this copy being number 90. In the publisher's original stapled wraps, with an adhered dust wrapper (unpriced). This preface was unknown until Stanley Revell, a book collector, discovered it in a Cornwall bookshop. It was written, however never officially published, to introduce 'The Merry Masque of Our Lady in London Town', a play produced by Charles A. Claye in 1928 that performed into the 1950s. The title refers to the lack of this preface's mention in Donald Gallup's bibliography of Eliot. This unique piece of Eliot's writing foreshadows his interest in religious and poetic drama, with his 'Dialogue on Dramatic Poetry' publishing that same year. In the publisher's original stapled wraps, with an adhered dust wrapper (unpriced). Externally, excellent, with minor bumping to the edges of the dust wrapper only. Internally, firmly bound with bright and clean pages. Fine . Ill.: None. Fine/Near Fine.
