P. Wyndham Lewis – Tarr – First Edition 1918
£95.00
A first edition, first printing of Tarr by P. Wyndham Lewis published by The Egoist Ltd, London in 1918. A near fine book, boards bound in publisher’s original copper-brown cloth, some bumping to the spine tips, an open tear to front edge of the spine, shelf wear rubbing to rear side edge, with mild damp-staining to spine, toning and spotting to the text block, bumping to the corners, some internal large foxing to end matter.
Tarr by Wyndham Lewis is a modernist novel exploring art, identity and philosophy in early 20th century Europe. Set in bohemian Paris, it follows Frederick Tarr, an English artist torn between cold intellectualism and raw emotion, mirrored in his contrasting relationships with two women. Satirical and provocative, the novel critiques both bourgeois and avant-garde sensibilities. With its sharp wit and bold stylistic experimentation, Tarr is a striking exploration of individuality, artistic ambition and cultural clashes.
