Malcolm Bradbury DANGEROUS PILGRIMAGES First Edition Signed
First edition first print hardback of DANGEROUS PILGRIMAGES (Trans-Atlantic Mythologies & the Novel) by Malcolm Bradbury and published by Martin Secker & Warburg Limited in 1995. Signed and publication-dated by Bradbury on the title page.The book is in very good condition (black cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine) with age tanned page edges but no significant wear to the boards. The book is in a very good unclipped dust jacket which has light creasing to the top and bottom of the front and back covers and spine. There is some light staining to the bottom of the back cover. Internally the pages are lightly age tanned but are otherwise clean and tight and there are no tears or other inscriptions.
Dangerous Pilgrimages is a dazzling analysis of the thriving traffic in fiction between the Old World and the New. Since before Plato, the Old World has been inventing and refining its images of the New. And, since explorers called it into being, the New World has been looking back to the Old, borrowing its traditions to write new rules and distil the truths that came to be self-evident. And if there has always been a gap between image and reality, it has opened out into rare entertainment - above all in the novel, a form that flourished as a result of the great transatlantic encounter.
Malcolm Bradbury, who lives and teaches in Norwich but cut his own fictional teeth on the high plains of Colorado, tracks this long-lived transatlantic dealing with expert zest and enthusiasm. Eastbound or westbound, this is an exhilarating journey.
