About This Item

Pharos, Utah, spring, 1945. Book. Very Good. Soft cover. 1st Edition. First edition of the author's first book, which comprises the whole issue of the first and second number (a double issue) of the periodical 'Pharos'. Tall 8vo. 123pp + [iv] advertisements. Red lettered card wrappers, rubbed and a little nicked at the yapped edges. Former owner name inked to the head of the half-title. Faint tape residue marks to the endpaper corners. A very good copy. The full text of the author's three act play followed by his twelve-page 'The History of the Play (With Parentheses)' which details its composition and disastrous opening in Boston in 1940, and is followed by a brief 'Note of the Battle of Angels' by the director, Margaret Webster. Williams subsequently rewrote the play under the title 'Orpheus Descending' but its opening run in 1957 was brief and modestly received (although almost a smash hit in comparison to the original production)..
