DESCRIPTION
In the original unclipped dustwrapper.
This is the ninth impression of the first edition of this work, which was first published in 1936.
A dramatic collaboration between two major twentieth century writers, this play tells the story of a foolhardy climber who accepts a dangerous expedition and is destroyed by his own bravado. It is widely regarded as an allegory of Auden's own temptation to become a public figure.
