Description

8vo., First Edition, tiny signature on half-title, small neat contemporary signature on title; original dark green cloth, bevelled boards, upper board framed in black, gilt back, grey endpapers, uncut, short crease at backstrip else an unusually bright, clean, crisp copy. With the nineteenth-century trade ticket of Whiteley of Westbourne Grove on front paste-down, and publisher's advertisement leaf at end. This book forms the symbolic basis of Terence Rattigan's celebrated play 'The Browning Version' (1948), itself the source of Anthony Asquith's eponymous feature film (1951) starring Michael Redgrave, Jean Kent and Nigel Patrick. At Cannes the film was nominated for the Palme d'Or, winning Best Actor (Redgrave) and Best Screenplay.
