Thomas Sturge Moore — Armour for Aphrodite

London, Grant Richards and Humphrey Toulmin, 1929. First edition. Cloth. An uncommon first edition of this interesting analysis of contemporary thoughts on aesthetics, sexuality and morals. Smart, first edition, in the publisher's original green cloth binding. Written by British poet and author, Thomas Sturges Moore. This work examines the idea of aesthetics and the role it plays in society. Moore explores the meaning of beauty alongside ideas of creator and creation. Moore believed that society at the time had misled people due to false analogies with science, and therefore he wished to set the record straight and reinterpret these notions, through this work.

Externally, very smart with light bumping and rubbing to the extremities and the occasional small mark. Light fading to the spine. The odd spot to endpapers, with an ink inscription to the front endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean, with the occasional spot, mainly to the first and last pages. Very Good .
