{"product_id":"9780500292891","title":"A Humument : A Treated Victorian Novel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe final edition of the late Tom Phillips's `defining masterpiece of postmodernism'.     In 1966 the artist Tom Phillips discovered A Human Document (1892), an obscure Victorian romance by W.H. Mallock, and set himself the task of altering every page, by painting, collage or cut-up techniques, to create an entirely new version. Some of Mallock's original text remains intact and through the illustrated pages the character of Bill Toge, Phillips's anti-hero, and his romantic plight emerges.     First published in 1973, A Humument - as Phillips titled his altered book - quickly established itself as a cult classic. From that point, the artist worked towards a complete revision of his original, adding new pages in successive editions. That process is now finished. This final edition presents an entirely new and complete version of A Humument. It includes a revised Introduction by the late artist, in which he reflects on the 50-year project, and 92 new illustrated pages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45459268894941,"sku":"9780500292891","price":14.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9780500292891.jpg?v=1719968542","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9780500292891","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
