Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition, First Printing. A legendary literary 'duel' between two giants of 20th-century thought. Through a series of incisive letters, Dahlberg and Read clash over the merits and moral failings of the giants of Modernism, including Joyce, Eliot, and Lawrence, in a style that is as eloquent as it is combative. KEY FEATURES +++ Binding: Original black cloth over the spine with gilt titles set against light blue boards. +++ Content: A sharp, epistolary exchange debating the ethical and aesthetic foundations of modern literature, specifically targeting the 'idols' of the era. +++ Associated Names: Features extended critiques of James Joyce, D.H. Lawrence, Henry James, Robert Graves, T.S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound. +++ Imprint: Published by Horizon Press, the New York house known for supporting avant-garde and high-intellect prose. +++ Specs: 8.5 inches tall / [10], 11-222 pages. CONDITION: Near Fine/Very Good -- The book is tight and square with clean text and light, even age-toning. The boards show Minimal shelf handling wear. The dust jacket is price-clipped and modestly age-toned, featuring a small closed tear on the lower front edge, but remains presents well in a protective sleeve. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -- Edward Dahlberg, often called the 'Job of American Letters,' was famous for his uncompromising, archaic prose style and his refusal to bow to the literary fashions of his time. In Herbert Read, the distinguished British anarchist, poet, and critic, he found a formidable intellectual sparring partner. This 1961 exchange is considered one of the last great 'public' arguments over the moral duty of the artist. The book matters because it captures the 'post-Modernist' reckoning. While the world was enshrining Joyce and Eliot as untouchable masters, Dahlberg and Read were examining the 'sacred truth' of whether their works actually served the human spirit or merely the ego. It remains a vital text for anyone studying the intersection of ethics and aesthetics. SUBJECTS: Literary Criticism, Modernism, Ethics in Literature, James Joyce, T.S. Eliot, Edward Dahlberg, Sir Herbert Read, Literary Criticism, Epistolary, Philosophy. BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCE: Billings, Harold. 'A Bibliography of Edward Dahlberg' (A14).

Zustand: Very Good. First American Edition. A philosophical fable of the inner world. Herbert Read's only novel, originally published in London in 1935, is here presented in its first American appearance. Blending mysticism, anarchist thought, and psychological allegory, The Green Child is a central text in Read's career as a cultural theorist and poet. This New Directions issue is a cornerstone of the postwar modernist revival, famously housed in the abstract dust jacket designed by Alvin Lustig, which translates the book's surrealist undercurrents into a landmark of 20th-century graphic design. Includes an influential introduction by Kenneth Rexroth. KEY FEATURES +++ Designer: Features the iconic abstract dust jacket by Alvin Lustig. Includes the first appearance of the introduction by Kenneth Rexroth. +++ Publisher: Issued by New Directions, a leader in the mid-century American modernist movement. +++ Imprint: New Directions, New York, 1948. +++ Specs: Octavo; 8 inches tall; 194 pages. CONDITION: Very Good in a Good+ Jacket. +++ The Book: Bindings are tight and square in original blue cloth. The text block is clean with light, even age-toning. +++ The Jacket: Housed in the original Lustig-designed dust jacket. The jacket is notoriously fragile; this specimen shows moderate edge wear and small closed tears. Minor chipping noted at the extremities, but remains a very presentable and bright example of this classic design. SCHOLARLY FEATURES +++ Allegorical Depth: Explores the tension between the material world and a subterranean, mystical utopia. +++ Political Subtext: Reflects Read's unique brand of 'aesthetic anarchism' and his search for a harmonious social order. +++ Design History: Lustig's jacket for this title is a primary example of his 'New Directions' style, which moved book design away from literal illustration toward conceptual abstraction. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - Herbert Read was a titan of 20th-century criticism, and The Green Child was his attempt to synthesize his complex theories on art and politics into narrative form. While the British edition established its literary merit, this 1948 New Directions edition solidified its status within the international avant-garde. The pairing of Read's text with Rexroth's commentary and Lustig's visuals makes this edition the definitive aesthetic statement of the work for the American market. Herbert Read was a British poet, critic, and philosopher. His work represents a unique British synthesis of Romanticism and Modernism that found a second, highly influential home in the American small-press movement of the mid-20th century. SUBJECTS: Anarchist Thought, Mysticism, Identity, Modernism, New Directions Press, Alvin Lustig Design, Modernist Literature, Philosophical Fiction, Allegory, British Literature.
