These three novels are a series of animated tableaux filled with beautiful, eccentric women pursuing pleasure in the most wicked, perverse, irresponsible ways, written by an extraordinary Englishman who dared to be as original in his books as he was in his life. Vainglory, his longest work, was published in 1915. Inclinations (1916) is set mainly in Greece, where the fifteen-year-old Mabel Collins is travelling with her chaperone, Miss O'Brookomore. Mabel elopes with an Italian conte, but the plot is of minor importance and the interest, as with all Firbank's work, lies in the dialogue. His next novel Caprice followed in 1917.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Warhol, Andy (Jacket Design by) (illustrator). 1st. Cloth, xx, 425 pages, portrait; 23 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Age toning. Dust jacket, with light chipping at extremities & clipped flaps, protected in a mylar book cover. First American Edition with an early jacket illustration by "Andrew Warhol" (Pop artist and superstar Andy Warhol). Ronald Firbank (1886-1926) was a gay writer much admired by aesthetes in England, following on the heels of Oscar Wilde, but never quite achieving Wilde's eminence, dying at an early age after a life of dissolution. Still, Firbank was much admired by contemporaries such as E. M. Forster and Evelyn Waugh, and later mentioned by Susan Sontag in her famous essay, Notes on Camp. It's appropriate that another openly gay man, Warhol, would be selected to design the jacket for this book. Size: 8vo. Collectible.
