The 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.
