Octavo, 1018 pages, cloth, slight acidic burn at facing pages 376-377 from a bookshop bookmarker; dj frayed at perimeter. . Back by popular demand, this is Wright's only published novel, preceded only by a single short story, "1915?". His imaginary world, Islandia, has been compared to Tolkien's Middle Earth. This appeared after his sudden death, after being edited down from the 2300-page mss. "It is a work of high intellectual power, of deep human insight, of penetrating social and philosophical criticism, and it is also a work of poetic and passionate tenderness." - Lawrence Clark Powell. Has anyone seriously compared and contrasted this to that other lawyer's work, Thomas More's UTOPIA ? Map endpapers, internal map partially reproduced on the top cover. [ Bleiler2, p. 212 ].

A clean copy of an early reprint of the original edition. No jacket. ; 1018 pages; Austin Tappan Wright left the world a wholly unsuspected legacy. After he died in a tragic accident, among this distinguished legal scholar’s papers were found thousands of pages devoted to a staggering feat of literary creationâ€"a detailed history of an imagined country complete with geography, genealogy, literature, language and culture. As detailed as J.R.R. Tolkien’s middle-earth novels, Islandia has similarly become a classic touchstone for those concerned with the creation of imaginary world.
