The Ascent of F6

The Faber and Faber London edition of 1936 is the true first. The play exists in three slightly different published versions: the first English edition (1936), a revised first US edition (Random House, 1937, in 1,500 copies, with a considerably revised text), and a second English edition (1937). The 1936 Faber printing is the textual and bibliographic first. This is a joint work by W. H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood, not by Isherwood alone.
