Carbondale : Southern Illinois University Press, 1983. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine copy in the original cloth over decorated boards, in a good if somewhat edge-nicked and dust-dulled dw, now mylar-sleeved. Remains particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and strong. Physical description: xiv, 102 p., 16 p. of plates : ill. ; 24 cm. Notes; Includes index. Bibliography: p. [93]-98. Summary: F. Richard Thomas argues convincingly that Alfred Stieglitz wielded an extraordinary influence on the works of such literary figures as Gertrude Stein, Hart Crane, Sherwood Anderson, and William Carlos Williams. The implications of his argument bear not only on the aesthetics, styles, and perceptions of these major American literary figures but on the progress of contemporary photography as well.
