The Praise of Folly | 1941 Princeton UP Edition | Inscribed by Hoyt H. Hudson to Ivor Winters & Janet Lewis; Later Inscribed by Yvor Winters to Kenneth Fields

1941 Princeton University Press edition. Hardcover in publisher’s cloth with original dust jacket. Inscribed on the front pastedown/illustrated front endpaper by translator Hoyt H. Hudson: “For Ivor Winters and Janet Lewis with old regards,” signed by Hudson. The same page also bears a later gift inscription: “To Kenneth Fields from Yvor Winters, 1967.” A strong literary association copy linking Hudson, Ivor Winters, Janet Lewis, and Kenneth Fields. Book is sound and presentable. Jacket is unclipped if present as issued, but shows clear age and handling wear, including toning, edgewear, small chips and losses at spine ends and corners, and a visible ring mark/stain on the spine. Cloth remains clean and attractive overall. Interior generally clean, with light age toning and the expected offsetting from the jacket art to endpapers. A distinctive association copy with an appealing Stanford literary connection.
