An interesting copy, inscribed by Spender 'To Tony with love from Stephen December 9, 1939'. Presumably this would be to Tony Hyndman, Spender's lover whom he lived with between 1933 & 1936. This inscription was around the time that relationship had ended, with Spender marrying Inez Pearn that month, after an engagement of only three weeks. Hyndman is referred to as 'Jimmy Younger' in Spender's memoir World Within World.
