Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Third printing stated. 224 pages. This was co-published with The Baffler magazine. A re-discovered masterpiece of reporting by a literary icon and a celebrated photographer. In 1941, James Agee and Walker Evans published Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, a four-h…undred-page prose symphony about three tenant farming families in Hale County, Alabama at the height of the Great Depression. The book shattered journalistic and literary conventions. The origins of Agee and Evan's famous collaboration date back to an assignment for Fortune magazine, which sent them to Alabama in the summer of 1936 to report a story that was never published. James Rufus Agee (November 27, 1909 - May 16, 1955) was an American novelist, journalist, poet, screenwriter and film critic. In the 1940s, writing for Time, he was one of the most influential film critics in the United States. His autobiographical novel, A Death in the Family won the author a posthumous 1958 Pulitzer Prize. Agee is also known as a co-writer of the book Let Us Now Praise Famous Men and as the screenwriter of the film classics The African Queen and The Night of the Hunter. Walker Evans (November 3, 1903 - April 10, 1975) was an American photographer and photojournalist best known for his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) documenting the effects of the Great Depression. He said that his goal was to make pictures that are "literate, authoritative, transcendent". His works are in the permanent collections of major museums and have been the subject of retrospectives at the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the George Eastman Museum. In the summer of 1936 the business magazine Fortune operated by Henry Luce dispatched staff writer James Agee and photographer Walker Evans, on loan from the Farm Securities Administration, to Alabama to examine the economic plight of white cotton tenant farmers. Agee's report was a powerful indictment of the Southern economic system, but the story was killed by the magazine. One might surmise that Fortune found the piece too critical of Southern capitalism, but researchers have been unable to locate any correspondence explaining why this indictment was rejected for publication. Although Agee's 1936 trip to Alabama did provide important research for his 1941 book on sharecroppers, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, the original manuscript was part of the writer's papers discovered by his daughter in Agee's Greenwich Village home. The James Agee Trust then transferred this collection to the University of Tennessee Special Collections Library where the typescript "Cotton Tenants" was found. In 2012, approximately one-third of the document was published in The Baffler by editor John Summers who worked with Melville House to release the complete document. Fifty years after Agee's death, this trove of his manuscripts turned out to include a typescript labeled Cotton Tenants. Once examined, the pages made it clear that Agee had in fact written a masterly, 30,000-word report for Fortune. Published here in full for the first time, and accompanied by thirty of Walker Evans's historic photos, Cotton Tenants is an eloquent report of three families struggling through desperate times. Indeed, Agee's dispatch remains relevant as one of the most honest explorations of poverty in America ever attempted and as a foundational document of long-form reporting. Walker Evans (Photographer) (illustrator).

In den WarenkorbZustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First edition. A Fine copy of the book in a Near Fine dust jacket. Jacket with a scratch on the front panel, slight rubbing to the spine and spine ends and very slight fading to the spine, but much less than typically encountered. Let Us Now Praise Famous Men is the surprisi…ngly striking product of a Fortune Magazine collaboration between photographer, Walker Evans, and writer, James Agee, in 1936. For four weeks they lived, worked alongside, and earned the trust of desolately impoverished sharecropping families in Alabama. Originally envisioned as a short article on sharecroppers in the Deep South amidst the reforms of President Roosevelt's New Deal, Agee and Walker expanded the work considerably. Emotionally driven by the poverty they experienced, Agee and Walker crafted a fictionalized account of three families incorporating Evans' powerful images. Despite a lukewarm initial reception, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men was brought to national attention by the social justice movements of the 1960s and has remained an important work of southern literature and an innovative collaborative work. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket.

In den Warenkorbdj. First Edition. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1941. 8vo, 471 pp. Publisher's black cloth, lettered in silver on backstrip, in unclipped dust jacket priced $3.50. A few scuffs to the boards and a small bump to the top edge of the upper board; spine panel of dust jacket sunned, worn at edges and folds, moderate chipping to head of…backstrip. § First edition. Publisher's complimentary copy, with enclosure slip. One of the most important 20th-century literary and photography books, an extended essay on rural poverty with the now-iconic photos of Walker Evans. In the summer of 1936, during the Great Depression, Agee and Evans spent eight weeks on assignment for Fortune magazine, living with three white sharecropper families in southern Alabama. Through interviews and photographs Agee and Evans created a moving document of the piercing misery and poverty of Depression-era south. Fortune chose not to publish the resulting article, and instead the material became this book. Though it was largely ignored on publication in 1941 and sold only 600 copies before being remaindered, its renown has since built steadily and it is now considered Agee's masterpiece. It inspired Aaron Copland's opera The Tender Land, President Jimmy Carter named it as his favorite book, and it was credited as a formative influence by David Simon, the journalist and creator of acclaimed television series The Wire. It is now placed among the greatest literary works of the 20th century by the New York School of Journalism and the New York Public Library.
