E M Forster, Viscount Cecil / THE HOGARTH LETTERS 1st Edition 1932

Description: "Not My Voice But The Voice Of Virginia Woolf" (Lehmann)THE HOGARTH LETTERSBy E.M. Forster, Viscount Cecil, and Rosamond Lehmann(1932)Uncommon boxed set of the first three Letters issued by the Hogarth Press, in their first US editions.Very good plus in very good box."Alas, the waste of our fine intelligences, the frittering of our valuable energies!" - Lehmann The first three pamphlets (of a total of 12) in the Hogarth Letters series were issued individually in the U.S. by Harcourt, and by March of 1932 had sold a collective 125 copies there: even packaged together in so charming a set as this, the contemporary American public could not be tempted by these expressions of Bloomsbury's "most characteristic attitudes" (Espey). A LETTER TO MADAN BLANCHARD is Forster's speculative address to the 18th century seaman who chose to stay in the Palau Islands after the wreck of his East India Company packet ship, still read today; Viscount Cecil's LETTER TO AN M.P. ON DISARMAMENT seemed to Virginia Woolf "d-----d dull"; while Lehmann's LETTER TO A SISTER is a characteristically lyrical evocation of memory and mortality by a still-underrated "day-dreaming fraud and muddler."Read more: Espey, "The Hogarth Letters," Los Angeles Times; Woolf, The Letters of Virginia Woolf.
