One of the author's most collectable early books. Agents and Patients is Anthony Powell's fourth novel and incorporates many of the tropes his fiction is famous for. The novel applies elements of psychoanalysis and film-making to cast a critical but comical eye upon modern society, examining the need for gratification and the ability, or failure thereof, to realise it when it happens. The novel continues Powell's evolution of the style and technique he was to eventually deploy in his famous series A Dance to the Music of Time.

First edition, first impression; 8vo; publisher's rose cloth, lettering to spine in gilt, spine slightly sunned, boards mottled, no dust-jacket; a good copy.
