1937189715London: The Parton Press 1937. With the glassine jacket First edition in English of Kafka's famous story in which the protagonist finds himself transformed into an "ungeheuren Ungeziefer" translated here as "some monstrous kind of vermin". Lloyd's translation went quickly out of print in Britain selling similarly poorly to the original publication in German Die Verwandlung 1915. The public's unfamiliarity with the strange world of the Kafkaesque proved a difficult obstacle for the author and his early translators to overcome. In the same year as this publication Willa and Edwin Muir produced the first English translation of The Trial following their version of The Castle 1930 which had been financially unsuccessful. Lloyd's Metamorphosis briefly reappeared when the Vanguard Press published it in America in 1946 before vanishing into the shadow of the Muir translation. It was Lloyd who gave the work its enduring name in English. The Muirs initially used the title "The Transformation" and later reverted back to Lloyd's "The Metamorphosis". Octavo. Original blue quarter cloth spine lettered in black brown board sides with blue paper label on front lettered in black. With original glassine jacket and contemporary bookseller's acetate. Contemporary ownership inscription of literary critic Boris Ford 1917-1998. Spine cocked extremities a little rubbed and bumped; chips to glassine: a very good copy. Flores p. 20.
