Pencil marks to rear dustjacket as seen. Sir Stephen Harold Spender CBE (28 February 1909 16 July 1995) was an English poet, novelist and essayist who concentrated on themes of social injustice and the class struggle in his work. He was appointed the seventeenth Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the United States Library of Congress in 1965. Trial of a Judge, first published in 1938, is an anti-fascist drama in verse. From original dustjacket notes to 'Trial of a Judge': The theme is a struggle of conscience, a tragedy of human weakness which is of timeless significance; and the liberal-minded judge, striving to maintain his conception of justice between contending political factions, becomes at the end a figure of tragic greatness.

First edition, first impression, inscribed presentation copy from the author' 'To Stuart Latham/ with many thanks and best wishes/from Stephen Spender/ March 16 1938.'; 8vo; neat, red ink marginalia (stage directions, possibly Latham's hand?) to pp 49, 64, 71, 72, 74, 75, 93 and 104; publisher's salmon cloth, without dust-jacket, spine darkened, spines end slightly frayed, a little rubbed at extremities, otherwise very good. spender's first play, an expressionist, anti-fascist drama in verse, inscribed at the close of its initial run at unity theatre Written for the experimental collective Group Theatre, of which he was Literary Director, Spender's play was first produced by Rupert Doone and staged in March 1938 by the Unity Theatre club, with stage designs by John Piper (making his debut in theatrical work). The collaboration between these two amateur theatre groups was apparently not a comfortable one, with many Unity members objecting to 'the obtuse language, vaguely symbolist design, and bleak ending.' (Warden, 2019) 'Trial of a Judge' ran for nine days in the Unity Theatre's converted chapel on Goldington Street, NW London; Spender's inscription is dated on that run's closing night. The dedicatee George Windred could in all likelihood be George Loftus Windred (1906-64), entomologist by training, but, by 1937, recorded as 'stage actor, England' and living in Kensington in 1939; equally he might just have been one of the discontented audience members (the play apparently did elicit a certain amount of heckling during this run), trying to salvage something from the evening.
