    Patrick Hamilton in print

    Further to my post on Lynne Truss's Times article I went away and had a look to see how much of Patrick Hamilton's oeuvre is in fact in print. I used the BookFind database, which is not infallible, but should be reasonably accurate.
    The following are currently in print:

    Gaslight : A Victorian Thriller in Three Acts
    Constable & Robinson 0-09-450830-5
    1975

    Hangover Square : A Story of Darkest Earl's Court
    Penguin Books 0-14-118589-9
    2001

    Impromptu in Moribundia
    Trent Editions 0-905488-33-4
    1999

    Rope : Play
    3rd ed, Constable & Robinson 0-09-450860-7
    [s.d.]


    The Slaves of Solitude
    Constable 0-09-458720-5
    1972

    Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky
    Vintage 0-09-928865-6
    1999

    I'm hampered by not having a scholarly bibliography to hand (is there one?), but using the British Library's catalogues it would appear that the novels out of print are:

    Monday Morning (1925)

    Craven House (1926)

    The Gorse Trilogy, which consists of the West Pier (1952), Mr Stimson and Mr Gorse(1953) and Unknown Assailant (1955)

    The plays out of print are John Brown's Body (1930), Money with Menaces (1939), The Duke in Darkness (1942) , The Man Upstairs (1954) and Angel Street (1966)
    Maybe the centenary will inspire the publisher to bring out new editions. My priorities would be Craven House and the Gorse Trilogy.
