Book First Edition
Hard Back. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. First Edition. 299 Pages. Back cover is separating from the endpaper and the cloth is still holding the board. The front cloth board is also in early stages of separating. One inked line of ownership is on the front endpaper dated 8-11-75. Interior text pages are tight, white, and bright. The case for the "psychic" element in literature rests on a very old foundation; it reaches back to the ancient masters,-the men who wrote the Greek tragedies. Remorse will ever seem commonplace alongside the furies. Ever and always the shadow of the supernatural invites, pursues us. .As the art of literature has progressed it has grown along with it. Today there is a whole new school of writers of Ghost Stories, and the domain of the invisible is being invaded by explorers in many paths. We do not believe so much more, perhaps, that is, we do not so openly express a belief, but art has finally and frankly claimed the supernatural for its own. One discerning authority even goes so far as to assert that the borders of its domain will be greatly enlarged in the wonderful new field of the screen. There is no motive in a story, no image in poetry, that can give us quite the thrill of a supernatural idea. If we were formally charged with this we might resent the imputation, but the evidence has persisted from the beginning, lives on every hand, and multiplies daily. What we have been in the habit of calling the "machinery" of the old Greek drama-its supernatural effects has come finally to be an art cultivated with care at the present hour, and has given us some wonderful new writers.
