VIRGINIA WOOLF ET SON ŒUVRE: L’ART ET LA QUÊTE DU RÉEL. Inscribed by Guiguet.
Paris: Didier, 1962.
1st Edition. FIRST EDITION. First edition in French of Jean Guiguet’s seminal critical study on Virginia Woolf. Small quarto (484 pp.), in the publisher’s original printed paper wrappers printed red and black, solid with a minor tear to the spine and light toning to the pages as expected.
Warmly inscribed on the half-title:
“À Monsieur et Madame Messier… un amical hommage et souvenir des bons moments passés ensemble en 1972 à San Diego. Jean Guiguet.”
(“To Mr. and Mrs. Messier… a friendly tribute and a memory of the good times spent together in 1972 in San Diego.”)
A masterful and meticulously researched examination of Woolf’s inner artistic life, her major works, and her methods of writing, by one of France’s most respected literary critics. A scarce inscribed copy.
