Rare Book
A very appropriate presentation copy, inscribed by Shaw on the half-title: 'Presented to the Marx Memorial Library by G. Bernard Shaw, 9th Dec. 1933'. The Symposium features only one non-Shavian voice, that of Philip H. Wicksteed, who appears twice in articles that first prompt and then respond to Shaw's own. Shaw's annotations are to R.W. Ellis's Introduction, where he corrects the stated source of a few articles and criticises Dan Rider (on the basis of his 'Adventures with Bernard Shaw') as 'a chronicler... more imaginative than accurate', and then at the foot of his article 'The Jevonian Criticism of Marx' (as well as correcting 'ingenious' to 'ingenuous' in the text) where he identifies an interpretive error on his part that 'makes a nonsense of a good deal of this article'.
1930, pp. ix, 200, crown 8vo, original quarter green leather with light green cloth, backstrip lettered in gilt with wear at tips and a little rubbing along joints, slight lean to spine, t.e.g., others untrimmed, Marx Memorial Library bookplate to front pastedown and a little browning to hinge gutters, good
