About This Item
New York: Dodd, Mead and Company, 1942. Correspondence by three giants of the Irish literary theatre. Not much more can be said about Yeats and Shaw; but the fascinating actress/feminist Florence Farr (1860-1917) is less-known today. Among other attributes, she was a Muse for Yeats and the first actress to perform Ibsen in England. This is a Very Good (Plus) to Near Fine copy of the First American Edition, from a year after the Limited from Cuala Press [Wade, 328]. Not a common title. Edited by the English dramatist Clifford Bax (1886-1962). Red paper-covered boards with a dark blue cloth spine; gilt titling on the spine. Clean text; xii, 96 pages, with two pages in the rear unopened. Gilt on the spine slightly dulled; two small pen strikes on the covers; faint spots to edge of front cover. Exceptionally bright textblock. A solid copy, lacking a dustjacket. In an archival plastic protector.. First American Edition.. Hardcover. Very Good (Plus)/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
