HOUSMAN, LAURENCE.(EDITOR).
What Can We Believe? Letters exchanged between Dick Sheppard and Laurence Housman.
London: Jonathan Cape,1939. 1st ed. "This correspondence was the outcome of Dick Sheppard's wish to draw out from one who had strayed farther than himself from the paths of orthodoxy, and whose opinions he valued, a candid statement of his doubts and his beliefs; and from this contact of two unusual and very different minds, we get an exchange of letters on religious problems, and other controversial matters, of a startling unconventional character - very serious in aim, but very libertarian in expression, and possibly rather shocking to those who do not share the writers' conviction that laughter is an aid to religion." Pp.255,endpapers toned, occasional spotting throughout mainly just to page edges. Green cloth, gilt title to spine, d/w rubbed and chipped. G/G.
