About This Item
New York: Atheneum, 1962. First Edition. Octavo; 492 pages, red cloth, inked name on endpaper.
This "is a work of literary criticism, a study of the writings of Darwin, Marx, Frazer and Freud as imaginative organizations, as though they wer poems. ... At a few places in the book ... I have ventures a dissenting opinion on a technical matter: that Darwin could not have discovered genetics, that the labor theory of value blinded Marx to other values, that Frazer was wrong on the origin of myths, that Freud's reconstruction of Moses is preposterous, and others." - Preface.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
