Green cloth, titled in black. 86 pp. Second edition. Translated from the Russian by D. H. Lawrence (whose name was left off the first edition of 1922, corrected by an errata sheet), S. S. Koteliansky & Leonard Woolf. The first edition consisted of 1000 copies, the second of 1200. This copy, which was purchased for �250 by its previous owner, is enhanced by a gift inscription from Samuel Solomonovich "Kot" Koteliansky to Lady Ottoline Morrell in blue ink on the half title, "Ottoline / with affectionate admiration / Kot / I.III.34. Minor spotting on boards, horizontal crease on spine, else a very good copy without the dust jacket. Lady Ottoline Morrell was an aristocrat and society maven closely associated with the Bloomsbury Group and was friend and patron to many of its members, which included Virginia Woolf, Duncan Grant, Dora Carrington, Lytton Strachey, T. S. Eliot, D. H. Lawrence, Aldous Huxley, among many others. The last two, Lawrence and Huxley, repaid her affection by publishing books, Women in Love and Crome Yellow, which presented a thinly veiled portrait of her and life at her home in unflattering terms. S. S. Koteliansky was a translator and acted as friend and supporter to many of the most influential British writers of the early 20th century. From the library of the noted collector William Beekman. WOOLMER 19 (Second edition note).
