London: William Heinemann Ltd, 1928. Near Fine. FIRST EDITION, INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR on front endpaper to Dr. Mabel Ulrich: "For Mabel Ulrich/ With all my love/ from Storm Jameson". Crown 8vo, pp. 312. Navy cloth, gilt-stamped lettering to spine, blind ruled with small gilt-stamped star to upper board. Slight cocking to spine, extremities lightly rubbed, faint stain to fore-edge of bottom board. Offsetting to endpapers, else pleasingly clean and bright. A near fine copy.
Over the last two decades scholars have re-evaluated the Whitby-born socialist, feminist and pacifist author's role in the British literary scene, as well as questioning her self-proclaimed designation as 'middlebrow,' instead exploring her experiments with literary form (see, for instance, Birkett & Briganti, 2007; Gerrard, 2010). In this, Jameson's first novel to engage with Europe and its recent history - her project in the Mirror of Darkness trilogy and the rest of her writing life - Farewell to Youth is a 'hinge' novel, not only in subject matter, but in relation to her own life too: during the same period, she moved back to Whitby from London and left her role as Knopf to survive - precariously - via pen alone. Her semi-autobiographical novel, which she described as 'shocking' (referring both to its setting of the Great War and the protagonist's extra-marital affair), was critically well-received.
Like Jameson (1891-1985), the little-known Dr. Mabel Ulrich (1897-19??) had a rich public life, as well as a diverse career that traversed medical and literary milieux: she was physician, health lecturer, critic and bookshop owner. A Minnesotan Sanger, she pioneered frank sexual education for (white, middle-class) American women and girls during WWI, via pamphlets such as Mothers of America and For a New World: The Girl's Part; she ran a chain of book and print shops in Minnesota, as well as becoming a long-standing contributor to The Saturday Review. On the heels of Jameson's dedication, Ulrich commissioned the Yorkshire writer to contribute a piece to her 1932 edited collection, The More I see of Men (Harper & Brothers)/ Man, Proud Man (Hamish Hamilton). A near fine copy that gives some flesh to the otherwise little-known relationship between Jameson and Ulrich.

Description:
London: William Heinemann Ltd,, 1928. First edition, first impression, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "for Mabel Ulrich, with all my love, from Storm Jameson". A prodigious writer with a "mania against domestic life" (ODNB), Jameson also worked as a publisher, journalist, playwright, and translator. The present work is semi-autobiographical, and draws on her husband's experiences in the First World War. Jameson (1891-1986) was the first woman to become President of the British chapter of International PEN, holding the post from 1937 to 1945, and was the first woman to read English at the University of Leeds. As well as being a prolific novelist, she was "much in demand both as a literary critic and a commentator on social and political issues" (Maslen, p. 33). Her career in the interwar period was informed by her intimate involvement in campaigning against fascism and social injustice; she was a founding member of the Peace Pledge Union in 1934, though she later reluctantly…

New York: Random House, 1959. Book. Illus. by Sam March (dust jacket design). Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition.. Small octavo. Humes's second novel, following 'The Underground City,' both of which led to his being considered by Esquire magazine as having the same promise as two obscure guys named Updike and Styron (whoever they are). Anyway, he met a guy named Leary who introduced him to a little substance known as LSD, and after seriously indulging his fondness for the hallucinogen he became a trifle paranoid and a bit delusional, which pretty much ended his writing career. Humes was co-founder (with Peter Matthiessen and George Plimpton) of The Paris Review. He died of prostate cancer in 1992. Black cloth w/gilt lettering, 184 pages. Mildly cocked, light general wear, in price-clipped dust jacket w/light rubbing, light edgewear, creases to fore-edges of both flaps..
