About This Item
Dallas: The Pegasus Foundation/The Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture, 1983. Cloth. Fine/Near Fine. The 1983 1st American edition -- and the 1st appearance of the Dallas Institute edition, in its much less common hardback. Clean and Fine in a crisp, Near Fine dustjacket, with one very small chip and several microscopic closed tears along the panel edges. Octavo, translated from its original French by Edith R. Farrell. "The Bachelard Translations originate from the inspiration of Joanne H. Stroud whose dual interests --literature and psychology-- parallel those of Bachelard himself."
