About this Item

Blake, George. The shipbuilders. First reprint. London: Collins, July 1945. Hardback, Good, in FAIR, unclipped dustjacket, bumped to corners, tanned to edges, generally grubby with numerous small tears and patches of loss. Blue cloth, bumped to corners, faded where the dustjacket has damage, silver lettering to spine. Binding strong. 256pp. on war economy standard paper. Contents clean and bright. George Blake (1893 1961) was a Scottish journalist, literary editor and novelist. His The Shipbuilders (1935) is considered a significant and influential effort to write about the Scottish industrial working class. "At a time when the idea of myth was current in the Scottish literary world and other writers were forging theirs out of the facts and spirit of rural life, Blake took the iron and grease and the pride of the skilled worker to create one for industrial Scotland."
