Hugh and Mirabel Cecil – Clever Hearts – Uncorrected Proof Copy 1990
£35.00
An uncorrected proof copy of Clever Hearts by Hugh and Mirabel Cecil, published by Gollancz, London in 1990. A near fine copy, with fading to the spine, light shelf wear to the soft covers and spotting to the top edge of text block.
Hugh and Mirabel Cecils’ Clever Hearts is a compelling dual biography of literary critic Desmond MacCarthy and his wife, Molly, Virginia Woolf’s cousin. Co-authored by their grandson Hugh Cecil and his wife Mirabel, the book paints an intimate portrait of this intellectual couple deeply embedded in early 20th century literary circles. It explores their marriage, friendships, salons, and cultural influence between the wars. Praised for its insight and scholarship, it won the Duff Cooper Prize and the Marsh Biography Award.
