About This Item
New York: Hermitage House, 1955. First Edition. Hardcover. Good/Good. 8.50 x 6.25 x 1.50 inches. Freud on Broadway: A History of Psychoanalysis and the American Stage, written by W. David Sievers, was published by Hermitage House in a hardcover First Edition in 1955. This edition is presented in red cloth covers with gold lettering on the spine and the classic symbols of comedy and tragedy (happy/sad) masks sketched in gold on the front cover. The book is in Good condition, with some wear and fraying to the corners, small splits, and damage to the spine ends. The binding remains square.Inside, the book carries an inscription and minor abrasion on the front flyleaf. The interior pages, while clean and unmarked, exhibit a degree of tanning. Notably, this edition includes a Mylar-protected dust jacket, though it is not a former library book. The jacket is price-clipped and, despite being Mylar-protected, displays a few small edge chips.First published in 1955, this study explores Freud's profound influence on the American theatre, reaching back to the turn of the 20th century. While readers are familiar with Freud's impact on playwrights like O'Neill, this book sheds light on lesser-known influences on writers such as Philip Barry. It delves into how various playwrights' works parallel Freud's psychoanalytic theories, with discussions on Robert Sherwood, Rose Franken, and Elmer Rice, among others.For your peace of mind, the book will be meticulously packaged for shipment, ensuring protection from the elements.
