[Ex Libris R.H. Llewellyn] Wilson, Angus. Anglo-Saxon Attitudes. First English Edition. 1956. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition—a few notes about the book are penciled on the front endpaper, but they could be erased. R.H. Llewellyn, a noted East Coast collector of first editions by Dickens, Austen, Hemingway, et al., has written his name, city, and date on the flyleaf. Dust jacket by Ronald Searle.
This is one of English novelist Angus Wilson’s two most successful novels. A Dickensian-inspired satire, the plot concerns a professor’s guilt over an archeological hoax forty years earlier and the bizarre assortment of characters that stand to gain or lose if the ruse is at last exposed. Only this English edition has the marvelous Ronald Searle dust jacket.
“Life consists, I believe, in accepting one’s duty, and that means often to accept the second best.”
--Angus Wilson
