Signed by Barney Rosset Grove Press publisher on the title page. Along with Waiting for Godot Endgame is considered one of most important plays in modern literature. Scholar Harold Bloom states that Endgame is a ‘greater yet more savage work than Godot: I cannot think of any other 20th century work of literature composed as late as 1957 that is nearly as original an achievement as Endgame nor has there been anything since to challenge such originality. Beckett may have foresworn 'mastery' as not being possible after Joyce and Proust but Endgame reaches it'. Harold Bloom also stated 'Probably the most powerful living Western writer is Samuel Beckett. He's certainly the most authentic" from an interview prior to Beckett's death. Grove Press, Inc unknown

188600MV223London England 1886. On offer ALS Edmund Beckett 1st Baron Grimthorpe 1816-1905 known previously as Sir Edmund Beckett 5th Baronet and Edmund Beckett Denison. He was a lawyer amateur horologist and architect. In 1851 he designed the mechanism for the clock of the Palace of Westminster responsible for the chimes of Big Ben. He was also responsible for rebuilding the west front roof and transept windows of St Albans Cathedral at his own expense. Although the building had been in need of repair popular opinion at the time held that he had changed the cathedral's character even inspiring the creation and temporary popularity of the verb "to grimthorpe" meaning to carry out unsympathetic restorations of ancient buildings. Part of Beckett's additions included statues of the four evangelists around the western door; the statue of St Matthew has Beckett's face. He later turned his attentions to St Peter's and then to St Michael's Church both in the same city. In 1868 he worked with W H Crossland to design St Chad's Church Far Headingley in Leeds. ALS. 2-1/3 pages 1886. "I am glad my lunacy speech gave satisfaction to those who could understand it. When I went into the House yesterday I was told the case was hopeless but it evidently is not."
