Item description from seller

New York: Republic Publishing Company, Inc, 1916. Very Good condition (spine slightly faded). A much better than average copy of a book tough-to-find in decent condition due to its fragile binding -- original gray-paper covered stiff boards. Complete with the paste-on sailing-ship seal on the front cover, and full wrap-around white band -- printed in black and only lightly finger soiled. NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are clean and crisp. NO foxing. "A sample of liberal opinion in the United States, as expressed from 1914 to 1916." This contains the first book appearance of H. G. Well's THE IDEALS OF ORGANIZATION (see Geoffrey Wells #252) as well as two works by Rebecca West - THE DUTY OF HARSH CRITICISM, and EROTO-PRIGGERY. Also has contributions by John Dewey (2), George Santayana (2), Walter Lippman (8), Francis Hackett (8), Herbert Croly (8), Philip Littell (10), etc. [Frank Kermode wrote about Rebecca West, "if ever a writer so young demonstrated what Shakespeare called 'the flash and outbreak of a fiery mind,' it was she." While still in her twenties, Rebecca West began penning reviews that were perceptive, eloquent, and, more often than not, devastating. In essay, THE DUTY OF HARSH CRITICISM, the twenty-three year old West castigates her fellow critics for their soft-headedness and failure to live up to their responsibilities. The critic, she argues, has a duty to keep clear 'the path of letters,' thereby making it possible for art to save people's souls. Setting an example for her fellow critics to follow, she then lays into George Bernard Shaw and H. G. Wells for certain heretofore overlooked failings. And let it not be said that West played favorites: When this essay appeared - in volume one, number one of The New Republic - H.G. Wells had been her lover for more than a year--and would remain so until 1923."] . First Edition Thus. Hardcover (stiff boards). Very Good condition/No jacket. 8vo. 361pp .…

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
