A Dearth of Wild Flowers. ***'Sir Herbert Edward Read, DSO, MC (4 Dec 1893 - 12 Jun 1968) was an English art historian, poet, literary critic and philosopher, best known for numerous books on art, which included influential volumes on the role of art in education. Read was co-founder of the Institute of Contemporary Arts. As well as being a prominent English anarchist, he was one of the earliest English writers to take notice of existentialism. He was co-editor with Michael Fordham and Gerhard Adler of the British edition in English of The Collected Works of C. G. Jung.' (Wiki) ***'Sir Herbert Read wrote no formal autobiography despite his long and prodigiously varied life as much-decorated soldier, art historian, critic, poet, novelist and key figure for nearly half a century in the cultural life of America and England. "The Contrary Experience", perhaps because it is so unconventional in form, is all the more fascinating as the totally candid self-portrait of a great man. "The Innocent Eye" describes his boyhod on a Yorkshire farm, "A War Diary", written during the First World war, describes his life in action and between periods of action, and the reading and thinking of a young infantry officer striving to keep in touch with the world of art and the intellect. "The Falcon and The Dove" is a marvellous recapitulation of an extraordinarily full life, and the final section, "A Dearth of Wild Flowers" is both an exquisite recollection in tranquility and a personal credo.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A new edition of the autobiography of Herbert Read - re-issued ten years after the first edition with a new personal foreword by Graham Greene. Uncommon in all editions. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
