WAUGH, Evelyn (1903-1966). Edmund Campion, Jesuit and Martyr in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth. London: Longmans, Green and Co., 1935. Waugh’s biography of Catholic Jesuit priest and martyr St. Edmund Campion, inscribed to John Betjeman: "John from Evelyn / Stinchcombe 1946."

The present copy is a later printing of the first edition. See also lots 428 and 433 for other works inscribed to Betjeman. Octavo. Publisher's blue cloth (spine lightly faded). Printed dust jacket (spine panel darkened with a little loss at ends and flap folds). Provenance: Sir John Betjeman, 1906-1984, poet laureate (authorial inscription; by descent to:) – Paul Betjeman, b.1937 (Christie's, 17 May 1989, lot 245).
