Item description from seller

Five Plays of 1937. Published in London by Hamish Hamilton in 1937, this attractive anthology brings together five notable stage works that capture the richness and diversity of late interwar British and American theatre. The collection includes Terence Rattigan's French Without Tears, Gerald Savory's George and Margaret, Barré Lyndon's They Came by Night, Helen Jerome's Charlotte Corday, and Lillian Hellman's The Children's Hour, one of the twentieth century's most influential and controversial American dramas. This volume provides an excellent snapshot of the theatrical landscape of 1937 and is of particular interest to collectors of dramatic literature. The inclusion of early work by Terence Rattigan, alongside Lillian Hellman's landmark play, gives the anthology lasting literary and historical significance. Published by the respected London house Hamish Hamilton, it represents an important period in modern theatre publishing. Bound in the publisher's original orange cloth with black lettering to the spine, the book has an understated yet distinctive appearance typical of the period. The decorative title page, framed with an elegant Art Nouveau-inspired floral border, adds a touch of visual charm and reflects the quality of Hamish Hamilton's book production during the 1930s. The book remains in Very Good condition. The binding is firm and square, with the spine intact and the lettering bright and legible. The cloth shows light shelf wear, minor rubbing at the extremities, and gentle age-related fading consistent with careful use. The pages are clean throughout with no foxing observed, and the text remains crisp and highly readable. Overall, this is a well-preserved example of an increasingly desirable pre-war theatrical anthology. A highly collectible volume for enthusiasts of twentieth-century drama, theatre history, literary anthologies, Terence Rattigan, Lillian Hellman, Hamish Hamilton publications, and pre-war British publishing. An excellent addition to any collection of dramatic literature or literary first editions. Shipping Notice:

Description de la boutique

Step into the world of Cranston & Perry, where every shelf holds a little history and every book has a story beyond the one printed on its pages. We seek out books with character, from time-worn editions with foxed pages, beautiful bindings and forgotten inscriptions, to collectable children’s books, literary classics, unusual finds and modern voices worth rediscovering. Some are rare. Some are wonderfully ordinary. Some have travelled through generations before reaching us. What matters is that each deserves to find the right reader and a new place on the shelf. Part antiquarian bookseller, part treasure hunter and entirely devoted to books, Cranston & Perry celebrates literature in all its forms: beautiful, rebellious, curious, scholarly, nostalgic and occasionally rather strange. Every book has a past. Every reader begins another chapter. We simply bring the two together.
