An interesting addition to the site is FONTAINE (left) a French book looking at aspects of English literature between 1918 and 1940. The book mentions Sassoon’s book ‘Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man’ a number of times in the text and there is a bibliography of Sassoon at the back. Amazingly this book was published in German occupied France in 1944. This particular copy is unread with numerous uncut pages.
The book referred to, ‘Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man’ is shown on the right and above, the first French translation ‘Memoires D’un Chasseur De Renard’ (Keynes A30f) published in 1937. The book was published by Gallimard and 4,400 copies were printed by the Imprimerie Centrale in Paris.
