Wyndham Lewis established The Arthur Press in 1926 specifically for the purpose of publishing The Enemy, outlining in the initial volume's Editorial his intention to use the work as a "serious unpartisan criticism" of society, and commencing with his essay 'The Revolutionary Simpleton' in which he savages a perceived romanticism in the works of Joyce, Pound, Stein, even Charlie Chaplin. The third volume indicates that a fourth issue was planned, but it was sadly never to see the light of day.
Small folio, plates including colour, advertisements, original pictorial wrappers featuring designs by Wyndham Lewis, first part with some creasing and closed tears to yapp edges, mild foxing to part III wrappers, otherwise very good. Some related ephemera loosely inserted, including a letter on The Arthur Press headed paper referencing the issue of the second part, and a prospectus for The Apes of God.
