Offered here is an exceptional piece of literary history: The Uncelestial City by Humbert Wolfe, published in 1930 by Victor Gollancz Ltd. This is the limited signed edition, hand-numbered 234 of only 400 copies, and printed on high-quality handmade paper. Wolfe has boldly signed the limitation page in ink.
The book is complete with its original dust jacket, which is rarely found intact. The jacket is age-toned with some chips and edge wear (particularly to the upper spine and front panel), but remains legible and presentable. The book itself is in very good condition, with deckled edges and a tight, square binding. A striking example of early 20th-century British poetry.
Humbert Wolfe was a highly regarded British poet and civil servant during the interwar period. Known for his elegance and sharp wit, Wolfe’s work was widely respected in literary circles, though much of it is now quite scarce. The Uncelestial City is considered one of his more ambitious volumes, described by the publisher as “the most important work which Mr. Humbert Wolfe has so far produced.”
Signed limited editions like this—especially with the fragile Gollancz dust jacket—are seldom offered on the open market.
One hardcover signed limited edition of The Uncelestial City (1930), numbered and signed by Humbert Wolfe, complete with original dust jacket, housed in a protective sleeve and securely shipped with care.
