The Loved One
Evelyn Waugh · Little, Brown (US) · 1948
Precedence is corrected: the US Little, Brown edition (1948) is the first edition in book form, preceded only by the Horizon magazine appearance (February 1948). The English Chapman & Hall edition followed later in 1948. The earlier claim that the UK edition is generally collected as the first is not correct for this title.
