This copy is bound in burgundy cloth covered boards, there is a crease to the lower board. The price clipped dust wrapper is a trifle dusty and sunned to the spine it has now been covered in clear, removable, protective film. Claude Prance is best known for his books of essays. Most of the work published in these books is based on his own collection of English literature of the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries, but including collections on the British theatre, natural history and cricket. His interest in English literature was kindled by an American schoolmaster at St.John's College but most of his free time from his early life with the Midalnd Bank was devoted to professional examinations. When these were over he was free to use his leisure for one of his main interests and began to send essays and articles on English literature, mainly of the early nineteenth century, to a variety of journals. He acquired a fine collection of rejection slips! Gradually some of his essays began to appear in magazines in England, the U.S.A., and later in Malta and Australia. Eventually he collected some of these and his first book of essays, Peppercorn Papers, appeared in 1965,when he was still working for the Bank. Later volumes were The Laughing Philosopher, 1976, Index to the London Magazine (with Dr.Frank Riga), 1978 Companion to Charles Lamb, 1983, E.V.Lucas and his Books, 1988, Essays of a book Collector, 1989, and The Characters in the Novels of Thomas Love Peacock, 1992.
