    BETWEEN THE COVERS RAre booKS CATALOG 200: NEW ARRIVALS 2 • new ArrivAls The Dedication Copy 1 Sinclair LEWIS Dodsworth New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company 1929 First edition. Quite rubbed else a sound very good copy in very good (almost certainly supplied) first issue dustwrapper with a few small chips and a little fading at the spine. In a custom cloth chemise and quarter morocco slipcase. The Dedication Copy Inscribed by Lewis to his wife, the author and journalist Dorothy Thompson, utilizing most of the front fly: “To Dorothy, in memory of Handelstrasse, Moscow, Kitzbuhl, London, Naples, Cornwell, Shropshire, Kent, Sussex, Vermont, New York, Homosassa, & all the other places in which I wrote this book ( - & this is the first copy of it I’ve seen) or in which she rewrote me. Hal. Homosassa, Fla. March 2, 1929.” The printed dedication reads, simply: “To Dorothy.” Lewis and Thompson had married in May of 1928, their marriage had run its course by 1938, although they didn’t divorce until 1942. This is Lewis’s classic novel of a staid, retired car manufacturer who takes a trip to Europe with his wife and there learns more about her and their relationship than he did in the previous 20 years of marriage. The inscription seems to indicate the peripatetic nature of their relationship during the writing of the book which seems to mirror the activities of the protagonists. Basis first for a stage hit, and then for the excellent 1936 William Wyler film featuring Walter Huston, Ruth Chatterton, Paul Lukas, Mary Astor, David Niven, and Maria Ouspanskaya.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Art and Life in America by Oliver W. Larkin Harvard Art Museums / Fogg Museum | Bush-Reisinger Museum | Arthur M. Sackler Museum. In this allegorical portrait, America is personified as a white marble goddess. Dressed in classical attire and crowned with thirteen stars representing the original thirteen colonies, the figure gives form to associations Americans drew between their democracy and the ancient Greek and Roman republics. Like most nineteenth-century American marble sculptures, America is the product of many hands. Powers, who worked in Florence, modeled the bust in plaster and then commissioned a team of Italian carvers to transform his model into a full-scale work. Nathaniel Hawthorne, who visited Powers’s studio in 1858, captured this division of labor with some irony in his novel The Marble Faun: “The sculptor has but to present these men with a plaster cast . and, in due time, without the necessity of his touching the work, he will see before him the statue that is to make him renowned.” Identification and Creation Object Number 1958.180 People Hiram Powers, American (Woodstock, NY 1805 - 1873 Florence, Italy) Title America Other Titles Former Title: Liberty Classification Sculpture Work Type sculpture Date 1854 Places Creation Place: North America, United States Culture American Persistent Link https://hvrd.art/o/228516 Location Level 2, Room 2100, European and American Art, 17th–19th century, Centuries of Tradition, Changing Times: Art for an Uncertain Age.

C.Caswell); published May 16, 1917; $1.50; three copies, two with the stunning dust jacket, now almost exotic in its rarity, with the front flap reading: “Just as THE HARBOR was the story of a constantly changing life out upon the fringe of the city, along its wharves, among its ships, so the story of Roger Gale’s family pictures the growth of a generation out of the embers of the old in the ceaselessly changing heart of New York. How Roger’s three daughters grew into the maturity of their several lives, each one so different, Mr. Poole tells with strong and compelling beauty, touching with deep, whole-hearted conviction some of the most vital problems of our modern way of living!the home, motherhood, children, the school; all of them seen through the realization, which Roger’s dying wife made clear to him, that whatever life may bring, ‘we will live on in our children’s lives.’ The old Gale house down-town is a little fragment of a past generation existing somehow beneath the towering apartments and office-buildings of the altered city. Roger will be remembered when other figures in modern literature have been forgotten, gazing out of his window at the lights of some near-by dwelling lifting high above his home, thinking
