Book
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 320pp., maroon boards. Fine copy in dust-wrapper. A remarkable book - a barely fictionalised diary, the first part recounting the author's passionate adulterous affair with A.E. Coppard: both were married, she to the complaisant Hal Taylor with whom she founded the Golden Cockerel Press. In Part II 'Loran', having failed 'to realize perfection through sexual love' and driven to the verge of suicide, describes a differing, mystical perfection. See Elisabeth Russell Taylor, 'Gay Taylor', in The London Magazine, May 2014. The pen name is an anagram of what Taylor considered her besetting sins - rancour and sloth.
