VALMOUTH: A Romantic Novel
London: Grant Richards Ltd., 1919. First Edition. Hardcover. Ironic novel about eroticism and exoticism in the milieu of quaint but lewd old British ladies at an English spa resort. Valmouth is noted for its florid and baroque style and parody-like humor, and its sexual innuendos both heterosexual and homosexual. Octavo: 209 p. with a frontispiece by Augustus John. Original black cloth binding, with gilt titles. Period bookseller's label to the rear pastedown. In the scarce dust jacket, which is a bit toned, more so along the spine and folds, with some shallow chipping at the corners and tips, and a few very faint stains; otherwise very good.
