London: Jonathan Cape. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1983. First Edition. Hardcover. 0224021303 . Dust jacket shows light edge wear ; A bright, solid book. DJ in protective Mylar sleeve, unclipped. ; Canopus in Argos Archives; 8.60 X 5.60 X 1.10 inches; 179 pages; "...the fifth and final instalment in the visionary novel cycle 'Canopus in Argos: Archives'. 'The Sentimental Agents ...' is set in the declining Volyen Empire as the empires of Sirius and Shammat compete to overwhelm it with rhetoric and false sentiment. The Canopean Empire deploys covert agents to help the Volyens resist. But one of these agents, Incent, succumbs to 'Undulant Rhetoric', and Agent Klorathy must go to Volyen to help him see through the empty words that have beguiled him. Once more employing alien races to identify human failings, Lessing uses social and political satire to show how we misuse speech (and speeches) and delude ourselves with self-aggrandizing notions about the primacy of emotion." .
