TRANSITION No. 14, Fall 1928

Jolas, Eugene; Elliot Paul; Stein, Gertrude

Edité par Transition / Shakespeare and Company, Paris, 1928

Fourteenth issue of Eugene and Maria Jolas's landmark literary journal, which along with Margaret Anderson's THE LITTLE REVIEW was one of the primary vehicles of Modernist and experimental writing. Over the course of 11 years, often times under great financial difficulty, they published a who's-who of modernist and experimental authors, alongside the work of Surrealist, Expressionist, and Dada artists: "TRANSITION would explore the literary currents washing over Europe and America, present them all if they showed 'imaginative emancipation' as against descriptive naturalism" (Hoffman).This issue most noteworthy for the inclusion of Gertrude Stein's classic "Tender Buttons." A monument to Modernism and the early avant garde and a well-above-average example of a fragile production. 8.5'' x 6''. Original pictorial wrappers featuring an image by Stuart Davis. 284 pages. Original wraparound band (worn) loosely laid in. Issue largely unopened. Toning to pages, as usual. Edgewear, some creasing to spine. Overall, clean and sound. N° de réf. du vendeur 54623
