First edition of perhaps the most important American novel of the 20th century, inscribed by Harper Lee to a close college friend and with a scarce archive of drawings and letters exchanged between the two. Octavo, original green cloth backed brown boards, titles to spine in gilt. Association copy, inscribed by Harper Lee to close University of Alabama college friend, Charles Weldon Carruth, "To my dear friend Charles, with love always â" Harper Lee." In the fall term of 1945, Lee and Carruth both enrolled in a Shakespeare course taught by one of the University of Alabama's most famous faculty members, Hudson Strode, who directed the school's theatre troupe and taught several courses in theatre and creative-writing. At the University of Alabama, Lee contributed a regular column to the campus newspaper, 'Caustic Comments for Crimson White', as well as many articles to the universityâs humor magazine, Rammer Jammer, of which she became editor in chief in 1946. Lee ultimately dropped out of college before graduation and moved to Manhattan in 1949 to pursue writing as a career; Carruth later moved to New York City as well, where he worked as a radio producer before becoming a writer and editor for the Catholic News. Near fine in the rare first-issue dust jacket which is in very good condition. Accompanied by an exceptionally rare archive of pencil and ink drawings sketched by Lee of Carruth, caricatures drawn by her while attending Strode's Shakespeare courses, an original acrylic portrait by Lee of Carruth inscribed by her on the verso "From Nelle Lee, Dec 25, 1952", and three letters written by Lee to Carruth regarding her thoughts on her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama. Measuring 8 inches by 10 inches on ruled sheets of paper, the 11 drawings, four of which are signed by Lee "NLee", include 5 realist studies of Carruth in various poses and six captioned caricatures in ink depicting him as Shakespearean leads including: a portrayal of Shylock as a pawn shop owner and "Money Lender Extraordinaire: Easy Loans - Pound of Flesh Compounded Semi-Annually", King Lear standing on the cliffs of Dover with a price tag (â$3.98â) hanging from his cloak, Hamlet standing on a diving board with Yorickâs skull and a bloody knife hidden behind his back (performed at the "Old Vic"), Julius Caesar smoking a pipe while âcontemplating the infiniteâ; Othello towering over an angel and devil; Cassius dripping dry outside the Roman baths where âyou must have a ticket before you batheâ, Malvolio, âthe impatient one,â crossing his legs while âwaiting to go to the jakesâ, and Carruth dressed as an unidentified female character with Carruth's note, "Fall Quarter/ Univ. Ala 1945". Additionally included is a caricature of Professor Strode wearing the breeches and curly-toed shoes of a court jester with his book "Timeless Mexico" in one hand and Yorick's skull in the other, signed "Nelle Lee" and dated "11/8/45. Showcasing not only the depth, but also the length of Lee and Carruth's friendship, the three letters include a letter written by Lee to Carruth in 1991 regarding his retirement, "My beloved Charlie, I can't think of anyone to whom these words apply more â" in your work, in your life â" 'Well done, thou good and faithful servant.' .You are one of the most special people to me, and you have meant so much to my life." Two years later, in January 1993, the second letter thanks him for a ".lovely Christmas remembrance and, farther back, your memoir of Winston County [Alabama, where Carruth was born]." Despairing the changes occurring in her hometown, she continues, "You remember the Faulknerian prophecy â" the Snopeses shall inherit the earth? They've already taken over Monroeville . they are trying to turn Harper Lee into a tourist attraction like Graceland or Elvis." She goes on to discuss the restoration of the Old Courthouse, and remarks that she ânearly had a fitâ after seeing a billboard featuring a mockingbird, describing it as âin indescribable tasteâ and âa fraud on the publicâ. "[They] say they are doing this to honor me. What they are doing . [is] embarrassing me beyond endurance . So keep an eye out for a small place that will hold 10,000 books . is near grocery stores & hospitals, and you! . We can look at each other and celebrate our longevity." Signed by LeeÂas the Queen Victoria,Â"Your unamused but loving, Victoria R & I." Lee often gave herself nicknames when signing letters: âFrancesca da Rimini,â one of Danteâs damned, when she felt hopeless; âE. Bouverie Pusey,â the Anglican theologian, when she got worked up about some finer points of theology; and âVictoria R/Iââ"the Queen Empress Victoriaâ"when she felt royal and moody. A remarkable collection offering unprecedented insight into the education, broad talents, unique sense of humor, and deep personal thoughts regarding the reception of the most important work of one of America's most respected and enigmatic writers. Four years after the publication of To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee remarked, "I never expected any sort of success with Mockingbird. I was hoping for a quick and merciful death at the hands of the reviewers, but at the same time I sort of hoped someone would like it enough to give me encouragement. Public encouragement. I hoped for a little, as I said, but I got rather a whole lot, and in some ways this was just about as frightening as the quick, merciful death I'd expected." Based on Lee's experiences growing up in the Deep South, the primary themes of the novel involve racial injustice and the destruction of innocence with Atticus Finch, the narrator's father, serving as a moral hero for many readers and as a model of integrity for lawyers. The story, told by the six-year-old Jean Louise "Scout" Finch, takes place between 1933 and 35 and follows the story of a local black man, Tom Robinson, who has been accused of raping a young white woman. Appointed to defend him, Atticus Finc.

It was immediately successful, winning the Pulitzer Prize, and has become a classic of modern American literature. The plot and characters are loosely based on Lee's observations of her family, her neighbors and an event that occurred near her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama, in 1936, when she was 10years old. The novel is renowned for its warmth and humor, despite dealing with the serious issues of rape and racial inequality. The narrator's father, Atticus Finch, has served as a moral hero for many readers and as a model of integrity for lawyers. One critic explains the novel's impact by writing, "In the twentieth century, To Kill a Mockingbird is probably the most widely read book dealing with race in America, and its protagonist, Atticus Finch, the most enduring fictional image of racial heroism." 35th Anniversary Edition published in 1995.
