Inside Out: An Essay in the Psychology and Aesthetic Appeal of Space (Adrian Stokes) (1947)

From the library of Colin St John Wilson and with his light pencil annotations throughout.

This book is, in a way, a method of autobiography—although it includes other matters such as a re-examination of the art of Cézanne—but the aim throughout has been to produce something indivisible as in a poem. It is perhaps best described by Mr. Stokes in the preface:—

‘This is not a book about childhood, except for a little of my own. The “working-out” as the title suggests, a certain relation to the external world, provides the subject.’
