The three items in good condition, with light signs of age and wear. LETTER: 2pp., 8vo. A splendidly waspish missive. Topics include: her 'letter to Mickie' ('masterly diplomacy'); 'dear Miss Massey, wounded on active service for the BIS' (with references to 'Mrs. Draper' and 'His Lordship'); his lectures at the University of Wa…les, Aberystwyth ('They are not without humour but life is very grim and earnest for them and they don't want to waste a single moment that might be vaguely cultural: all this shows a decent respect for the state subsidy which is not always found in Oxford'; a broadcast by him (including reference to 'John Davenport of the BBC'); 'Ivor and the Bomerang' (the latter 'gave me to understand that I. B-T had quite given up politics as the Tories do not avail themselves of him'); 'the Keats affair at Guy's'. There is also a reference to 'that delightful, accomplished eccentric Nancy Cunard whom I was delighted to find unexpectedly accroupie one cold night over the fire in the bar of the Kings Arms'. Davenport is said to have 'let her down badly about a book on Norman Douglas she is publishing. In between a visit to the Pitt-Rivers Museum to check details for a chapter on African sculpture and a visit to Raymond Mortimer in hospital near Salisbury Nancy had suddenly decided to seek accommodation with no luggage but a protege-Spanish-poet; her tiger-skin snood, or fillet, and her rush of French and Spanish rhetoric of which the only generally distinguishable words were "Norman", "Augustus" and "Dylan" brought a nouveau frisson to the barmaid, the Dean of Trinity and the surrounding rugger-men.' Another excellent passage reads: 'Mickie licks up any compliments as a cat does cream and has a real Yorkshire feeling for the Dear Departed, even when only remotely known, and Burying Father with Ham etc - des larmes faciles as one of her tame ENSA contesse used to say, when an extra NAAFI whiskey bottle had induced yet another performance of The Death of Marie Lloyd'.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Edition. One of 1,000 copies. Large quarto (31.5cm); publisher's dark brown buckram, with titles stamped in red on spine and front cover, and a map of "The Black Belt of America" on rear cover; dark brown topstain; viii,[2],3-855pp; with numerous half-tone and other illustrations throughout, including the color fold-out ma…p of Africa tipped in between p.584-585. Modest external wear (particularly to base of spine and upper and lower front joint), gently spine-sunned, light wear to topstain, with a touch of dust-soil to covers, and faint foxing to endpapers and text edges (occasionally extending into the margins); small closed tear to lower edge of title page, with a tiny puncture to one lower fold on the map; hinges sound; a solidly Very Good copy. A monumental work, compiling some 250 contributions by more than 150 authors (two-thirds of whom were Black), privately published and financed by Cunard, a direct descendant of Benjamin Franklin and heiress to the Cunard shipping fortune. Blockson notes Cunard's "bohemian spirit" and "unbending devotion to ending racial prejudice" and calls Negro "a landmark in African-American literature (see BLOCKSON 71, p.53-5). Cunard stated her purpose in publishing Negro was to show "that there was no superior race, merely cultural differences, that racism has no basis whatsoever." Among the impressive list of contributors were Langston Hughes, W.E.B. Du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston, Jomo Kenyatta, Samuel Beckett, Ezra Pound, Theodore Dreiser, Countee Cullen, Sterling Brown, Claude McKay, and many other key figures in the Harlem Renaissance. Of the 1,000 copies printed, many hundreds were destroyed during the blitz of London -- an assertion that was long offered by dealers without documentation, but which is indeed supported by an annotation in Cunard's own copy (held by the Ransom Center), dated October 1941: ".what remained of the whole edition has been destroyed by bombs and fire last years (Sept.), save 10 copies, saved by E.E. Wishart, as if in prevision." This fact, along with the book's unwieldy size and fragile binding, accounts for the scarcity of attractive copies in the marketplace; the present example being among the nicer copies we have handled. BLOCKSON 71; PERRY 761 (The Harlem Renaissance: An Annotated Bibliography and Commentary). 88436.
