Sobre este artículo
viii+443 pages. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and cover. First published in 1900.
Love Among the Artists was published in the United States in 1900 and in England in 1914, but was written in 1881.
With his inimitable wit and sparkle, George Bernard Shaw brings us the character of Owen Jack, a salty non-conformist composer said to have been suggested by Beethoven. The relations between Jack and the other wayward bohemians of the story with the more conventional socialites around them offers shrewd insight into the nature of the artistic temperament, with its needs for a kind of commitment that overrides the everyday claims of the heart.
Condition: Corners bumped, spine ends and hinge moderately rubbed, previous owner's label to front pastedown. Inner hinge cracked, stained else good to very good.
