Description:
New York: Random House, 1953. From the Bart Auerbach Collection. Jacket with a trifle of soiling. A fine copy. 8vo. Photographs by Slim Aarons. Original cloth; pictorial dust jacket by Clifford Strohl Associates. First edition. Inscribed on the front free endpaper to Alan and Phyllis Sues: "For Alan & Phyllis - Two more loyal supporters a playwright never had. I am always touched by your kindness and enthusiasm. Affectionately Bob." Anderson's play stems from his experience of falling in love with an older woman while attending Phillips Exeter Academy. The male private school student, Tom Lee, faces accusations of homosexuality and the woman, Laura, opposes his shaming and romantically pursues him so he can prove his heterosexuality. The play's final line, "Years from now, when you speak of this, and you will, be kind," is one of the most quoted curtain lines in stage history. Alan Sues played the role of Ralph in the play (his Broadway debut). He and the actor/dancer Phyllis Sues married in 1953… Read More

A dedication copy "To Hugh ['Binkie'] Beaumont, the play's producer, inscribed by the playwright on the front free endpaper: "For Hugh from Noel Coward." (...all Noel's plays had been presented in England since 1939 [and through the war years] by H. M. Tennent Ltd. [which] was exemplified in the attractive, persuasive, amusingly talkative person of Binkie' Beaumont. Violent and occasional business flare-ups excepted, Noel and Binkie were more than friends: they were the deepest, closest cronies..." (Cole Lesley, 'Remembered Laughter: The Life of Noel Coward', NY, 1976, p. 287). It was Beaumont who had persuaded Coward to return to the stage to act in a trio of plays - This Happy Breed was one - after the latter's nervous breakdown in 1937. Another dedication copy to Beaumont of This Happy Breed was in the sale of Masterpieces of… Read More

Description:
London: Printed for Robert Stodart, et al., 1818. From the Bart Auerbach Collection. Somewhat worn, narrow surface cracks to joints, label wanting, internally some foxing and occasional marginal smudges and discolorations. 8vo. xix, [1], 461, [3] pages. Original drab boards, untrimmed; in a green half-morocco slipcase. First edition, first issue; leaf of Stodart ads at end. An excellent association copy, inscribed by Hazlitt to the American actor/dramatist/critic John Howard Payne (1791-1852) on the title-page: "Presented to J. H. Payne / By the Author. June 1818." Payne, beginning in 1813, worked in the theatre of Britain, Ireland, and Paris, eventually establishing himself as one of the most successful dramatists of his era. Today he is best remembered for the lyrics to the song "Home! Sweet Home!" (adapted from his 1823 opera 'Clari, Maid of Milan'). 'A View of the English Stage' is a collection of Hazlitt's writings as drama critic for the 'Morning Chronicle', the 'Champion', the 'Examiner',… Read More
