About This Item
London: Victor Gollancz Ltd, 1928. First British edition. 8vo, 376 pp plus 24 plates. Publisher's orange cloth lettered in gilt on the spine, in printed dust jacket.
Offsetting at endpapers & pastedowns, sporadic minor foxing mostly at the edges of the textblock, small booksellers' rubber stamp at front pastedown, very good or better in soiled dust jacket with old tape repairs on the verso, browned at the spine, with edge wear including with losses & tears (including a 1.5" x 2" loss mid spine not affecting text), certainly good or so.
A splendid autobiography by Ms Duncan; communist, bisexual, atheist, who once waved a red scarf & bared a breast on stage in Boston, proclaiming, "This is red! So am I!"
