The Inheritors
Conrad and Ford Madox Ford, 1901
CONRAD, Joseph (1857-1924) and Ford Madox HUEFFER (1873-1939). The Inheritors. An Extravagant Story. New York: McClure, Phillips & Co., 1901.
First edition, in the very rare dust jacket, of a work which combines science fiction with political satire. In this work, the first of three novels on which the authors collaborated, Earth is invaded by the Dimensionists, an advance humanoid race from the planet's future, which co-exists with the present as an alternate universe on a different time plane. Hueffer is better known by the pen-name he adopted after World War One, Ford Madox Ford. ABPC records no copies in the dust jacket since 2000. This copy is part of the second issue, with the corrected dedication on a cancel leaf—the first issue is known in a few copies only. Cagle A6a(2); Keating 31.
Octavo. Original pictorial cloth with sky in gold; pictorial dust jacket (light chipping to tips, chip to rear flap); custom box.
