First edition first impression of the Nobel Prize winner's masterpiece.The Golden Notebook centres on Anna Wulf a writer who is attempting to unify the four fragmented notebooks in which she has compartmentalised her life into a single 'golden' volume. Lessing's inspiration for the novel arose out of a desire to write a book about the act of writing itself. Initially she resisted this ambition feeling as though the trope had been overworked but over time she realised her individual approach could render it entirely new. With an explicit focus on the position of women in society Lessing explores wider societal breakdown through the mental break Anna is experiencing. Written at the dawn of second-wave feminism the work resonates with the era's emergent discourses on sexual liberation and the women's movement. hardcover

1962162062London: Michael Joseph 1962. Uncorrected proof copy of the Nobel laureate's masterpiece. "The publication of The Golden Notebook in 1962 established Lessing as a major writer of her time. In it Lessing experimented with structure her writer protagonist Anna keeping four notebooks trying to separate out the chaos of events in both public and private contemporary life. Nothing Anna comes to realize is solely personal; at any given time all are affected by the world in which they live while also collectively influencing the world. Its exploration of women's concerns made it a flagship for the new wave feminism of the late 1960s and 1970s" ODNB. Octavo. Original tan wrappers spine and front cover lettered black.
