First edition. An excellent copy of the first edition of Russell's controversial attack on Edwardian Marriage and Morals, which won him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1950.

'It was this book chiefly which, in 1940, supplied material for the attack on me in New York [which determined that Russell was unfit to teach at City College]. In it, I developed the view that complete fidelity was not to be expected in most marriages, but that a husband and wife ought to be able to remain good friends in spite of affairs' (Autobiography).

First edition, first impression; 8vo (19.5 x 14 cm); slight spotting to fore-edge; publisher's blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt, top-edge stained blue, unclipped brown typographic dustjacket, closed tears to lower panel with partial loss to design, very good; 254, [2]pp.
