POWYS, John Cowper.

A Glastonbury Romance.

First edition of Powys’s monumental sixth novel. Though we cannot trace a direct link between Powys and Bridson, Bridson certainly knew Powys’s friend James Hanley - they worked together for the BBC during the war. The centrality of the Grail legends to A Glastonbury Romance would have been of interest to Bridson, whose own radio drama King Arthur premiered in 1937. Powys’s main source was Jessie Weston’s Ritual and Romance, the same work that had influenced T. S. Eliot’s Waste Land; Bridson also owned a copy.

LEWIS, Wyndham.

A Soldier of Humour and selected Writings. Edited with an introduction by Raymond Rosenthal.

First edition, inscribed by the editor: ‘Geoffrey I thought you would be interested in this new anthology’.
