On Journey

Descripción

A rare copy of the stated first edition (and printing). On the front pastedown and flyleaf, the previous owner pasted two pages signed by Peter Markham Scott, a famous British ornithologist and conservationist. One of these pages - a letter from Scott - suggests that these pages were supposed to be pasted in a copy of "Wild Geese and Eskimos" (1951) by Peter Scott, but the owner accidentally pasted them into Scudder's book instead. Scudder's book is a landmark memoir by one of America's leading Christian social reformers and intellectuals. In On Journey, Scudder reflects on her spiritual evolution, academic life at Wellesley, and pioneering role in the settlement movement - it is an essential work of religious and social thought from a key figure in early 20th-century progressive activism and the Christian Socialist tradition. This book is hardcover, missing it's dust jacket. The book condition is Fair. The text is clean and unmarked. The back hinge is loose, with gutter paper ripped and mesh fully intact and in good condition. The first ~120 pages were bumped at the top of the gutter, causing a light deformation in this area. There are two small dings on top edge of textblock. A few pages have bumpef bottom corners. Edges of textblock foxed. Binding sound and in good condition. There are spots of discoloration on fabric on hardcover boards. Fabric sunned along edges. Fabric on top and bottom of spine rubbed and ripped in several spots. There's a piece of tape tucked in the top of the spine. Damp stain on top of back pastedown and flyleaf.
