Description:
xxvi+386 pages with bibliography and index. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter beige cloth with silver lettering to spine over red boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. In this fresh and provocative approach to the reading of autobiography, Herbert Leibowitz explores the self-portraits of eight Americans whose lives span almost two centuries and encompass a stunning range of personality and circumstances: Benjamin Franklin, Louis Sullivan, Jane Addams, Emma Goldman, Gertrude Stein, William Carlos Williams, Richard Wright, and Edward Dahlberg. In pursuit of clues to both the human essence and the literary artifice of each, he examines their styles (Franklin s plain talk and possum s wit, Sullivan s gilded abstractions, Stein s gossipy ventriloquism, Williams s grumpy clowning and foxy innocence), their metaphors, and their choices of incident, looking beyond their visions of themselves to their true identities. Condition: Near fine in like jacket.
