A Handful of Dust

Evelyn Waugh

WAUGH, Evelyn (1903-1966). A Handful of Dust. London: Chapman & Hall Ltd, 1934.



An excellent copy of the first edition in book form of Waugh’s masterpiece. A Handful of Dust, titled after a line in Eliot's The Waste Land, offers a powerful critique of interwar British society, in particular the moral vacuity of the aristocracy. Davis 11.



Octavo. Frontispiece (foot of frontispiece loose). Original red and black marbled cloth (extremities a trifle rubbed, edges lightly spotted); original pictorial dust-jacket (a few short tears and chips at head and foot of spine and at folds); housed in a red morocco solander box.
