Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Second Edition. Please note that, unusually, this book comes with a 'double' 'spare' original dustwrapper that has been put on the book by mistake when first published and is underneath the outer dustwrapper, which is in very good, brighter condition having been better protected than the outer one. ***First impression of the second edition (which was first published in 1935). ***Very good in blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to navy blue gilt bordered compartment to spine. Contemporaneous owner's name in faint pencil: 'Kate Flint' to top of front free endpaper. Top edge of text-block stained blue (as called for). Edges of boards slightly rubbed. Pages clean. Slight spine slant. Spine tight. ***In a good duck-egg blue and black printed dustwrapper that has not been price-clipped, showing original publisher's price of 10s 6d net. Chip to head of spine of dustwrapper. Small chip and shallow loss to top edge of front panel of dustwrapper. Small chip to top corner of front panel of dustwrapper. Small chip and associated short tear to top corner of rear panel of dustwrapper. Tiny chip to bottom edge of rear panel of dustwrapper. Tiny loss and creasing to tail of spine of dustwrapper. Rear panel of dustwrapper slightly discoloured (being white background). Spine of dustwrapper slightly darkened. The second dustwrapper underneath is in brighter, cleaner condition and has a few small tears and shallow loss to head of spine 'mimicking' the loss at head of spine of the dustwrapper above, but with less loss, and is in very good condition. ***276 pages. 192mm x 130mm. ***'Miss Compton-Burnett has chosen for the theme of her novels a world that is known to everyone - the family, and has laid bare all the conflicting impulses, the almost imperceptible stresses and strains that go to make it what it is. Her heroes and heroines - if such they can be called - are sons and daughters, husbands, wives, sisters- and brothers-in-law, caught up in the web of family life, rebelling against it or looking to it for refuge, but always part of it---(Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). ***Among her great female predecessors in the English novel, Ivy Compton Burnett is in a general way most like Jane Austen, least like Charlotte Bronte, but the dominant influence on Dolores is George Eliot, an influence so pervasive that it extends to characterization and tone, subject, theme, and even diction.' (Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb of the re-issue of Dolores). ***Ivy Compton-Burnett (1884-1969) wrote her novels at the same time as Virginia Woolf. In her diary, Virginia Woolf wrote that Ivy Compton-Burnett's writing was far superior to her own in its expressions of truth, and in its originality. Ivy Compton Burnett s own tragic experiences of family life provided some of the material drew on as a novelist. Her books are about money, power, status, incest, adultery, murder, homosexuality, about which she was years ahead of her time, and all the passions and stresses of family life, described with brilliant wit and perception. ***Apart from her first novel, Dolores, her novels involve psychological exploration of small-scale power-abuse and persecution, human weaknesses, dysfunctional families and their internal power struggles in large Edwardian houses. Her fiction revolves around dialogue, sometimes epigrammatic. Important information can be subtle, stated by a character in a half-sentence. Her use of punctuation is minimal: no colons or semi-colons, no exclamation marks or italics; this is deliberate, and helps to create the unique claustrophobic literary fictional world of Ivy Compton-Burnett. ***'Her novels are conceived on the same moral and intellectual level as those of Henry James,' Edward Sackville-West in Horizon (Quote from front of A House and Its Head). ***Second edition of A House and Its Head, unusually with two original 1950s dustwrappers. An uncommon title to find in its dustwrapper.
