Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 496 pages. Published in 1996. The author's book-length account on subject. David Denby's finest achievement. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, of which there are many. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents David Denby's "Great Books: My Adventures With Homer, Rousseau, Woolf, And Other Indestructible Writers of The Western World". Brilliant Living Author re-enrolls in Columbia University's "core curriculum" course. In preserving the notion of the Western Canon, it has been an unlikely focus of America's ideological "culture wars". "Celebrates his re-discovery and new appreciation of such authors as Homer, Plato, the Biblical writers, Augustine, Boccaccio, Hegel, Austen, Marx, Nietzsche, and Virginia Woolf. Where other universities caved and revised or enlarged the canon, Columbia's course has remained intact. Denby's intention as a writer and protagonist is to record the experience and personal impact of the course" (Publisher's blurb). "Does a Great Books Canon exist? This superb book suggests an answer. Denby, the film critic of New Yorker Magazine, returned to his alma mater after 30 years to re-take the courses, grapple with the world's classics, and regenerate his own lapsed reading habit. It is a heartening portrait of American education, and a substantial, enthralling read. The book's richest moments are when the mature Denby engages with the texts. Reading the tragedy of 'Oedipus Rex', he feels anxious, recognizing the uncomfortable, ironic truth: 'What we avoid, we become' " (Publishers Weekly). Among other mainstream, non-academic writers, only Michael Dirda comes to mind as unapologetically - therefore controversially - committed to the Western tradition at a time when it is under relentless assault from mind-less ideologues. It is easy to miss the real "lesson" of David Denby's nostalgic project: Serious reading is a lifelong engagement with books, with the Great Books. In the end, one pursues learning auto-didactically; being self-taught is unavoidable, not just ideal or necessary. An absolute "must-have" title for David Denby collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed, dated (very shortly after publication), and inscribed in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: "To Beth - Part of an obviously brilliant family. Best, David Denby September 20, 1996". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. David Denby's handwriting is unusually elegant and beautiful. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed, publication-month dated, and inscribed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and despite its imperfection (one bump on lower back board corner) is still in fine condition overall: Every single internal page is clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws or are in multiple subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 0684809753. Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Limited Edition. VERY FINE. Sealed and mint without any flaws. Personally signed by Edward Albee on a special page. A luxurious leather bound collectible for your library that would also make a great gift for someone special. Easton Press, Norwalk, CT. Edward Albee "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" Leather bound. Signed Limited Edition. Illustrated by Alan Phillips. Sealed without any flaws. "Twelve times a week," answered Uta Hagen, when asked how often she'd like to play Martha in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Like her, neither audiences nor critics could get enough of Edward Albee's masterful play. A dark comedy, it portrays husband and wife George and Martha in a searing night of dangerous fun and games. By the evening's end, a stunning, almost unbearable revelation provides a climax that has shocked audiences for years. With the play's razor-sharp dialogue and the stripping away of social pretense, Newsweek rightly foresaw Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? as "a brilliantly original work of art-an excoriating theatrical experience, surging with shocks of recognition and dramatic fire [that] will be igniting Broadway for some time to come." Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? won the 1963 Tony Award for Best Play. "Albee can.be placed high among the important dramatists of the contemporary world theatre." -- New York Post FEATURES.

Edward Franklin Albee III (born March 12, 1928) is an American playwright best known for works, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, The Zoo Story, The Sandbox and The American Dream. His works are considered well-crafted and often unsympathetic examinations of the modern condition. His early works reflect a mastery and Americanization of the Theatre of the Absurd that found its peak in works by European playwrights such as Jean Genet, Samuel Beckett, and Eugène Ionesco. Younger American playwrights, such as Pulitzer Prize-winner Paula Vogel, credit Albee's daring mix of theatricalism and biting dialogue with helping to reinvent the post-war American theatre in the early 1960s. Albee's dedication to continuing to evolve his voice as evidenced in later productions such as The Goat: or, Who Is Sylvia? (2002) also routinely marks him as distinct from other American playwrights of his era. Signed by Author(s).
