The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone

Tennessee Williams · New Directions · 1950

New Directions issued the US edition in 1950; John Lehmann published the UK edition (with a Cecil Beaton dust-jacket illustration) the same year. Sources do not establish clear precedence between the two 1950 editions, so treat the New Directions edition as the American first rather than asserting it precedes the London printing.
