About This Item
London England: Hutchinson of London, 1968. Hardback. First Edition. Editor. Previous owners name and date to inside cover. Slight foxing to edge. Slight wear to edges of D/J. Price clipped. At thirty-three - without a job or prospect of one - Kingsley Martin fled the compacency and frustration of Manchester in 1930 and returned to find his fortune in London. Unexpectedly waiting for him was the empty editorial chair of the New Statesman and Nation, and a career in moulding (and shocking) opinion and influencing events which few editors of any country or period could hope to rival: by the end of the Second World War his paper was a national institution. He tells the story of those venturing years with all the verve, penetration and humour which sent the circulation figures of the paper rocketing to six times their starting level. 340 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.). First Edition. Cloth. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo. Hardback.
