Descripción
Descripción:
Full beige cloth with blue & red lettering and decoration to front cover and spine, top edge stained red, other edges untrimmed, pictorial dust jacket, 8-1/8" tall, 290 pp. Only real flaw to book is that an inscription has been cut out of the front endpaper, about 40% of endpaper is removed along a diagonal, but "otherwise a lovely copy" as we say. Dust jacket has a chip removing part of author's name to front panel, toning to spine, price-clipped. The author's novel about the Smoky / Appalachian Mountains in East Tennessee. Sorry about the front endpaper, but it is priced accordingly. N° de ref. del artículo 002174

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First Thus. First impression of this newly revised edition and first thus - newly edited by Herschel Gower. The book was originally published in the USA by Bobbs-Merrill, Indianapolis in 1940. 'This volume brings that collection back into print and extends the chronicle with ten more stories, eight of them previously unpublished' [Quote taken from the back of the dustwrapper]. ***Please note that the book is ex-library from St. Alphonsus College, Suffield, Connecticut, but has minimal library marks - just a neat ink stamp to the title page, and a library number to the copyright page, with some pencil notes. ***Very good in grey-blue boards with black titles to spine. Boards clean except for a shadow stain on the lower spine from a label on the dustwrapper spine. Top of spine slightly creased, and slightly faded. Corners sharp. No inscriptions. Top edge stained blue by the publisher to match the colour of the boards. Fore-edge slightly foxed, not affecting the interior. Pages clean. Spine tight. ***In a very good printed dustwrapper that has not been price-clipped, showing original publisher's price of $7.95. Shadow of a library label to the lower spine of the dustwrapper. Dustwrapper just slightly creased at the edges. No tears. Spine, front and rear panels of dustwrapper bright. ***356 pages. 221 mm x 145 mm. ***'The stories of Mildred Haun, collected here for the first time, are unique in the annals of American literature. Set in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee and covering a span of family history from the Civil War to 1940, these tales achieve the forceful, intractable simplicity of the traditional ballads. But one also finds in these stories an overview of the forces of nature, the paradoxes inherent in the human condition, and a full acceptance of the real world and the supernatural. ***Few writers in the twentieth century have set down so rich and complex a rendering of folk tradition and such a comprehensive treatment of superstition in the Southern Appalachians. ***No other dialect collection from the South has been as close to the oral tradition or has achieved the same distinctive flavor and natural tonal qualities. The speech strikes the ear directly from the printed page. The language is simple and strong. A sparse, direct economy prevails. The total impact is explosive.' (Quote from inside front of dustwrapper blurb). ***'Mildred Haun was born on Jan 6 1911 in Hamblen County in East Tennessee, and grew up in a rural area near the Cocke County line and was buried in 1966 in Hamblen County. In contrast, most of the women who had previously written about East Tennessee mountaineers, including Emma Bell Miles, Mary Noailles Murfree, and Will Allen Dromgoole, were not native members of that culture. She entered Vanderbilt University in 1931 with the intention of studying medicine. Her goal was to return to her rural home in East Tennessee to practice medicine as a modern "granny woman," equipped with a medical education as well as the herbs and folklore upon which previous midwives had relied. As she approached her senior year at Vanderbilt, Haun found that she lacked enough credit hours to graduate. To complete her required hours, she enrolled in John Crowe Ransom's Creative Writing course. Ransom's encouragement would be the deciding factor that would enable Haun to write the stories that would later become The Hawk's Done Gone (1940), her signature work and her only published book [Project Muse - Appalachian Heritage]. ***First impression of this revised edition in its original dustwrapper in nice bright condition. Uncommon to find in the UK. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Nº de ref. del artículo: 6896
