Description
MANTZ, RUTH ELVISH & MURRY, J. MIDDLETON [association copy]
The Life of Katherine Mansfield.
London: Constable & Co 1933, first edition. vii, 349p, frontis and illustrations. 190mm, original blue grey publisher's cloth with violet titles. Wear at spine ends and corners, cloth lightly discoloured, spine toned. Sprinkle of foxing and page VII, detached.
From the library of J.M. Murray who has written his full name on the fly. Several pencil notations to text in Murray's hand, they include “She was 3 years old” [not three months old, as in text]; p74 "solidariness" underlined in pencil [? should be solitude]; p177 "1913" should be "1903"; p179 "? April 1903" in J.M.M's hand' at head of the page; p225 a notation "but if this date is correct K. was then in London". The annotations by Murry appear to query the factual accuracy of some of Miss Mantz research, and by implication his own revision of the text. From catalogue. Enclosed a copy of the catalogue from which the vendor purchased the book.
