A Humument

[Dave Monroe]

Phillips, Tom. A Humument.
   London and New York: Thames & Hudson, 1980.

A HUMUMENT is eternally a work in progress. Tom
Phillips started his treatment of W.H. Mallock's
Victorian novel in the mid sixties and an initial
complete version was privately published by the Tetrad
Press in 1970.

With Thames and Hudson's first trade edition in 1980 A
HUMUMENT rapidly became a cult classic. It was seen to
be a defining product of post modernism linking
traditions as various as medieval illumination,
experimental poetry and non-linear narrative with the
procedures of modern art.

In each subsequent edition Tom Phillips has reworked
his earliest versions of the novel's pages with the
eventual aim of replacing the whole of the book, as it
stood in 1970, with new variations....
