About This Item
New York: Internatioal. 1937. First US Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Fine but for a little wear at spine ends, very good dust jacket with chip at top left of front panel, just cutting off a bit of the "R" in Ralph. Fox offers a Marxist analysis of literature, a study of writers like Tolstoy and Balzac, and ends with a discussion of proletarian fiction. He was killed in the Spanish Civil War at the Battle of Lopera in 1936 before he could see his book in print. It sold very well, especially in paperback. A Preface by Howard Fast was added in a new edition with a note on front panel of the dj advertising its presence. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 172 pp .
