"Aristocrat, novelist, essayist, traveler, and lover of Virginia Woolf, Vita Sackville-West lived a fascinating and daring life on the periphery of the Bloomsbury circle. She wrote in an astounding variety of genres, including travel narrative, historical and literary studies, poetry, fiction, and essays, and is probably best known for her novels, The Edwardians and All Passion Spent, and for incomparable writings about English country houses and gardens. Here, for the first time, is an anthology that represents the full expanse of her interests and styles. Over half of the works, including intimate diaries and a dream notebook, have never been published. Edited by a foremost expert on the Bloomsbury circle, Vita Sackville-West: Selected Writings provides an introduction to this unique writer.". 9780312237608 ISBN 031223760X. …

very good dust-jacket, cover price $35.00, very good white hardcover. FOSL, CATHERINE. Subversive southerner: Anne Braden and the struggle for racial justice in the Cold War South. Foreword by Angela Davis. New York, N.Y. ; Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire, England: Palgrave Macmillan, 2002, stated First Edition, and 1st printing number line ending with 1, xxix, 418pp., . "Anne McCarty Braden (1924--2006) rejected her segregationist, privileged past to become one of the civil rights movement's staunchest white allies. In 1954 she was charged with sedition by McCarthy-style politicians who played on fears of communism to preserve southern segregation. Though Braden remained controversial -- even within the civil rights movement -- in 1963 she became one of only five white southerners whose contributions to the movement were commended by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in his famed "Letter from Birmingham Jail." Braden's activism ultimately spanned nearly six decades, making her one of the most enduring white voices against racism in modern U.S. history. Subversive Southerner is more than a riveting biography of an extraordinary southern white woman; it is also a social history of how racism, sexism, and anticommunism intertwined in the twentieth-century South as ripples from the Cold War divided the emerging civil rights movement." - CONTENTS: The Power of Place -- A White Southern Childhood -- Intellectual Awakening -- Alabama Newspaperwoman -- Political Awakening -- Marriage and Movement -- The Wade Case : No Turning Back -- Fighting Back : The 1950s Resistance Movement -- A Voice Crying in the Wilderness : Early SCEF Years -- The Mass Civil Rights Movement : Beginning of a New Day -- Opening Up the Southern Police State -- End of an Era -- The Next Three Decades: The Struggle Continues. 9780312294878 ISBN 0312294875. …
