Early reprint of the first novel in Dixon's white supremacist "Reconstruction" trilogy, which included The Clansman (1905) and The Traitor (1907). The title page bears the motto: "Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots?" One critic has rightly characterized Dixon's trilogy as "a blueprint for how Anglo-Saxons could control and exploit colored peoples without being polluted by them" (see Peter Schmidt, "Walter Scott, postcolonial theory, and New South literature" in Mississippi Review, Fall, 2003).

Signed by previous owner E. G. Warren on front endpaper. Shelf-soil with light rubbing to crown; Very Good. Dixon (1864-1946), an American author, lawyer, Baptist minister, and professional racist, spent his writing career romanticizing the South, opposing equal rights for African Americans, and glorifying white supremacy, and championing the KKK as the knights of the South. "No American author of his time was more deeply devoted to the cause of white supremacy than Thomas Dixon, Jr. When Dixon prepared his attacks against Blacks, he drew skillfully upon an imagination that had been schooled in both the Baptist ministry and the study of Law" (Blockson, p.42). In his preface to the reader, Dixon explains that the novel "develops the true story of the "Ku Klux Klan Conspiracy," which overturned the Reconstruction régime." The novel spans five years (1865-1870), opening shortly after Robert E. Lee signs the treaty at Appomattox, and heavily promotes the post-emancipation theory of racial retrogression. "The basic premise of the theory was not only that blacks were inferior to whites but also that as they became further removed from the taming influences slavery had provided, they were actually retrogressing to an even more bestial state that made their very presence a threat, particularly sexually, to white society. Because there was no hope of blacks' rehabilitation, total segregation posed the only viable alternative, and equality with whites in any area remained an impossibility" (Inscoe, John C. "The Clansman" on Stage and Screen: North Carolina Reacts." The North Carolina Historical Review, Vol.64, No.2 (April 1987, p.142). At the time of publication, The Clansman, together with The Leopard's Spots, quickly became the biggest sellers of the young and financially struggling Doubleday, Page & Co., doing much to establish them as a major publishing company. Aware of the enduring popularity of Uncle Tom's Cabin on the stage, Dixon adapted a dramatic version of his novel in 1905, in the hopes of reaching a wider audience with his message; he often traveled with the touring company, making short speeches between acts. The play was a huge success, alternately vilified and enthusiastically received, depending on the state. Dixon's message would ultimately find an even broader audience, once his book was adapted into the 1915 film Birth of a Nation by D.W. Griffith, formerly an actor in a stage production of Dixon's novel The One Woman. BLOCKSON 53; SMITH D-423. [84768]. …

First limited British edition of this collection of critical essays and two letters on James Joyce's book Finnegans Wake. Small octavo, original publisher's cloth. Boldly signed by Samuel Beckett and Marcel Brion on the half-title page, and additionally signed by Beckett above the title of his essay. Samuel Beckett and Marcel Brion both personally knew James Joyce and were early defenders of his experimental work 'Finnegans Wake.' Beckett, a close associate of Joyce in Paris, assisted him with research and contributed an essay to 'Our Exagmination.' Marcel Brion, though more distant, also knew Joyce and played a key role in promoting Finnegans Wake to a French audience, offering interpretive insights that helped frame its reception within European modernism. He also contributed an essay to 'Our Exagmination.' One of 96 numbered copies, this example is unnumbered. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Letters of Protest by G.V.L. Slingsby and Vladimir Dixon. From the collection of Robert Duncan. Rare. Our Exagmination Round His Factification for Incamination of Work in Progress (1929) is a landmark critical volume that offers some of the earliest responses to James Joyceâs Finnegans Wake, then still unpublished and known only as Work in Progress. Comprising essays by a range of writersâ"including Samuel Beckett, William Carlos Williams, and Stuart Gilbertâ"the collection attempts to grapple with the experimental form, linguistic density, and philosophical ambition of Joyceâs evolving text. While some essays offer praise and others express bafflement, the volume as a whole reflects the modernist fascination with Joyceâs radical departure from conventional narrative.…
