Description

Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1963. From the Bart Auerbach Collection. A fine copy. 8vo. Original grey cloth. First edition. The dedication copy ("To Van Wyck Brooks Grand Historian of Native Letters"), inscribed on the half-title: "For Van Wyck and for Gladys: as I have always inscribed my books to you both, and as I inscribe this book in gratitude, in admiration, and with great and deep affection. Max. Harrison Oct 8th 1963." This was a highly controversial book upon publication, at once called "an angry book" and "one of the most furiously belligerent works of criticism written in modern times." Geismar (d. 1979) reviewed most of the major American authors in his career and edited many anthologies, including works on Thomas Wolfe, Ring Lardner, Herman Melville and Walt Whitman.
