Eliot printed for private circulation. Laid in is a one page Autograph Letter Signed to Buttle from English author and drama critic Charles Purdom in the year of publication whose arch tone sounds like he was in on the joke: "Dear Miss Buttle You were a very good girl to send me a copy of The Sweeniad & not at all an ordinary girl to have made so well deserved an examination of the great Sweeney. It is writing of himself at his best. Similar personal attention to his so-called plays would be much appreciated by me. He is the nothingness of our age great ability with waste of soul. Your book gave me great pleaseure. I hope you are sleeping well. Yours sincerely C.B. Purdom." Also laid in is a similarly arch two page Autograph Letter Signed from "Myra Buttle": in part "How very kind of you to write to me so encouragingly about The Sweeniad!. Perhaps one of these days I may have a bang at the so-called plays too. The Response I am getting is very heartening Bertrand Russell is enthusiastic. Graham Greene surprisingly enough sends me a post-card with 'Bravo' on it." Buttle goes on to reveal the answer to a riddle in the text. The Broadwater Press, Limited hardcover books

1957ref. PURCELLV001119Printed for private circulation at the Broadwater Press Welwyn Garden City. 1957. First edition. Octavo. pp vi 66. A satirical parody of T.S. Eliot by a Cambridge Sinologist. His pseudonym is an anagram and near homophone of ''my rebuttal''. Apparently printed in about 300 copies. Almost instant notoriety led to trade editions shortly after.Loosely inserted are three Autograph Letters Signed by Victor Purcell and on his headed writing paper dated 7 August 1957 20 March 1958 and 21 May 1958 the first to Miss Newland the others to Miss Newland Smith. The recipient was employed as a reader at the Broadwater Press and from the contents of the first letter was largely responsible for seeing the book through to production. The second letter mentions having received a letter to Myra from Sir Isaiah Berlin and the printing in the USA of an edition of 5000 copies. For the American edition Purcell admits to altering a certain unfortunate racial epithet which appears twice in the poem. In the last letter he talks of the recent appearance of the British trade edition and the expected reaction in the press and on TV. He also talks of having 'recently written and fantasy in dramatic form entitled ''Toynbee in Elysium''. The characters in order of appearance are Thucydides Gibbon Rhadamanthus Sellars the author of 1984 and So What! Spengler Toynbee Madame Blavatsky who claims that Toynbee is her reincarnation Chu Hsi of the Sung dynasty and Blaise Pascal. I have not yet decided how to bring it out.' In the event the book was issued in 1959. Also loosely inserted: a greetings card inscribed ''from Victor Purcell and Myra Buttle''; a poem ''Ode on a Chinese Vase - A Pastiche by Victor Purcell'' printed on a single sheet and inscribed ''To Miss M. Newland Smith with best wishes from Victor Purcell May 1959''; a sheet of typed extracts from reviews in the American press.Inserts: very good indeed.
