Hardcover. Etat : Good. No Jacket. This Modern Library volume presents a sweeping canon of American short fiction, edited by Angus Burrell and Bennett Cerf, bringing together landmark stories from Washington Irving through James Thurber. The contents span Romanticism, realism, naturalism, and modernism, with major selections by Hawthorne, Poe, Melville, Twain, Bierce, London, Cather, Stein, Faulkner, Anderson, and others. Designed as both a teaching text and a general reader's anthology, it reflects mid-20th-century literary taste and pedagogy, emphasizing narrative craft and the evolution of the American short story. This copy was clearly thoughtfully studied, with pencil annotations, underlining, and marginal notes throughout - evidence of engaged academic or personal reading rather than casual ownership. The binding remains firm and sound, with no loose or torn pages, making it fully serviceable despite cosmetic and interior wear. A solid reference and study copy of a classic Modern Library anthology, well suited for readers, scholars, or collectors who value use-history and textual engagement over pristine condition. Dark blue cloth boards with gilt Modern Library torchman device; moderate edge wear and rubbing, light spotting to endpapers, and scattered age-toning. Interior shows extensive pencil underlining, check marks, marginalia, and highlights consistent with study use. Text block secure; hinges firm; no missing, loose, or torn pages.…
