The Journals of Anaïs Nin. Vol 3: 1939-1944
London: Peter Owen, 1970
8vo., beige publisher’s boards, spine lettered and lined in gilt with publisher’s device to foot; decorative grey and white endpapers; in the dust jacket designed by Keith Cunningham (55s net/£2.75 net); pp. [iv], v-xiv, [ii], 3-327, [i]; with black and white frontis photograph of Nin; a very good copy, with one or two small stains to the fore-edge; half title lightly browned and offset from bookplate; a little bumped and bruised at corners and spine tips; the good jacket rubbed, particularly along folds; shelf darkening to the lower panel; and nicked/chipped to lower edge; with more extensive chipping, creasing, and tears to the upper edge and along spine (2.5cm max), resulting in some loss of lettering; 4cm split along the front flap; retaining much of its brightness, unrestored. Provenance: ex libris of Maurice Rosenbaum to upper pastedown.
The First British Commonwealth edition, inscribed by Nin for Maurice Rosenbaum facing his bookplate: “With immediate friendship”.
Stuhlmann (1927-2002) was Nin's literary agent and co-editor of the first seven volumes of her diaries. The diaries began to appear in 1966 in so-called 'expurgated' versions. The unexpurgated diaries, which are more sexually overt and frank, only appeared from 1986 on, after Hugh Guiler's death, under the management of her literary executor, Rupert Pole.
Although she started writing her diaries at an early age, and although she wrote many versions of them over the years, the first published volume covers the years 1931-1934, when she was living with Guiler in Louveciennes. This volume covers the period 1939-1944, when Nin and Guiler left Paris for America, where she spent more or less the rest of her life.
Stuhlmann took over the management of Nin's contracts in 1957, when she was still struggling to get consistent sales and publication in America. Towards the end of her life, however, Nin's spoke of needing to 'escape his domination', making Rupert Pole - and not Stuhlmann - her literary executor.
