Henry Green Loving (1945) & Nothing (1950) First Edition Viking Press Hardcovers

Description: For sale are two First Edition Hardcovers by English novelist Henry Green. Henry Green has been referred to as a 'writer's writer's writer." Green was always more popular among fellow authors than with the general public; none of his books sold more than 10,000 copies. He was admired in his lifetime by W. H. Auden, Christopher Isherwood, Eudora Welty, Anthony Burgess, Evelyn Waugh (who knew him well), and Rebecca West. The last-named said of him, "He was a truly original writer, his prose was fresh minted, he drove his bloodless scalpel inches deeper into the brain and heart, none of it had been said before. He is nearly forgotten." Loving - 1945, Viking Press. First Edition Hardcover lacking a Dust Jacket. Book is the Third Printing, October 1949. Loving describes life above and below stairs in an Irish country house during the Second World War. In the absence of their employers the Tennants, the servants enact their own battles and conflict amid rumours about the war in Europe, invading one another's provinces of authority to create an anarchic environment of self-seeking behavior, pilfering, gossip and love. Nothing - 1950, Viking Press. First Edition Hardcover lacking a Dust Jacket. Book is the First Printing.
