London: Folio Society, 1993. 1st thus. h/b. Near fine, 1993 reprint of Folio set from the 1970s, in red medium weight card slipcase. Each volume in beige pictorial cloth, gilt on red panel spine titling; text block firm in all 3; pages crisp and unmarked (top edge red). 8vo: crown (200 x 140 / 8"" x 5_""). A highly decorated English soldier and an acclaimed poet and novelist, Siegfried Sassoon won fame for his trilogy of fictionalized autobiographies that wonderfully capture the vanishing idylls of Edwardian England and the brutal realities of war. The first, Memoirs of a Fox-hunting Man, is picked up immediately in 1916 with Sherston deep in the trenches. Soon he is sent to the Somme where he is wounded and sent home to convalesce. In the 3rd volume, he finally ends up at the Western Front in France, where he is shot in the head while on a reconnaissance mission and invalided back home. As the capstone of Sassoon's masterful Sherston trilogy, Sherston's Progress--whose evocation of Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress is not at all accidental--literally brings home the unforgettable journey of George Sherston from aristocratic childhood through war hero and anti-war martyr, all the way to wounded veteran trying to move on from the Great War.
