Hardcover. First Edition. Octavo, 912pp. A good, rather shaken copy, in a fair to good dust jacket, worn along the extremities, and faded on the spine. A publisher's presentation copy, with a printed note reading "With the Compliments of the Publishers," SIGNED in ink by Wolfe's editor, Maxwell Perkins, tipped onto the front paste-down. Above that is Roberts's ownership signature, dated on publication day (3/8/35). On a rear blank, Roberts has written: "Tom was buried Sept. 18th 1938--and for four days the winds, rains and floods continued as though in a dirge for a kindred spirit gone--NY 9-25-38." Below that, in pencil, is another inscription, possibly in Roberts's hand, which quotes one of Wolfe's last letters to his sister, Mabel: "'Mabel, you know 'the elephant never forgets'--don't let them get you down--let's be happy.'--Tom at Seattle, Aug 1938." "The Hills Beyond" (a first edition copy) is a crisp, clean example, very good or better, with a few marginal notations in pencil, presumably in Roberts's hand. Her ownership signature, dated two months after publication, is on the front paste-down. The dust jacket is bright and clean, but with a long, near-total split at the front flap joint. Finally, there is Roberts's bound volume of three successive issues of The Atlantic Monthly (Dec. 1946-Feb. 1947), which contained a three-part series entitled "Writing is My Life," which reprinted some of Wolfe's notoriously long and beautiful correspondence, including several of his letters to and from Roberts. Heavily toned, but very good or better. PLEASE NOTE: There is no Wolfe autograph material contained within this archive. Any passionate follower of Thomas Wolfe will be intimately familiar with the figure of Margaret Roberts. As Wolfe's grade-school teacher from ages 11-15, she awakened the young writer's gift, and was his primary supporter from adolescence through the publication of his first novel, "Look Homeward, Angel" (1929). That novel, which launched his fame, also contained a number of thinly veiled portraits of still-living figures in Asheville, including Roberts's father and other family members of both the Wolfes and the Roberts. References to prostitution and other scandalous elements rendered the novel--and Wolfe himself--poisonous to the city, and the book was even banned by the local public library. Roberts was astonished by the novel, and while the letter she had written to Wolfe was soon lost, she recalled that it contained this admonishment: "You have crucified your family and devastated mine." (see Mitchell, Windows on the Heart: The Correspondence of Thomas Wolfe and Margaret Roberts, p. 120). Wolfe sent at least two despairing (though not apologetic) letters to Roberts in response, but, hearing nothing back, the two, who had been so close, severed contact for six and a half years. Consider, then, the significance of this complimentary copy of Wolfe's long-awaited second novel, 1935's "Of Time and the River." Wolfe, having lost contact with Roberts, was desperate to re-connect with her after their falling out, and clearly arranged with Maxwell Perkins to send her a complimentary copy on publication day. Roberts would eventually re-connect with Wolfe on May 11, 1936--more than a year later--by writing to him and inviting him to call on her in New York, where she was visiting her daughter. Though it is difficult to speculate about the inner lives of two close friends who have severed contact, it's clear that Wolfe's sending of the bookand Roberts's keeping itduring a period of estrangement are good evidence that the two were not meant to be split forever. They renewed their correspondence, and became good friends once again, though Wolfe died of tuberculosis in September, 1938, and their reunion--just like Wolfe's career--was tragically short-lived. Though not signed by Wolfe, this is about as close to a meaningful and personal presentation copy of Wolfe's second novel as one is likely to acquire. Roberts's inscribed copy of "Look Hom.
