A clean and unmarked copy in a moderately dusted, spotted dustjacket, two tiny closed tears, else VG. Jacket illustration by Rockwell Kent. Lowenfels (1897-1976) was a key figure in the Paris avant-garde during the 1930s, where he was a close friend of Henry Miller and Anais Nin (and was in fact the model for the character Jabberwhorl Kronstadt in Miller's Tropic of Cancer ). Returning to the US, he became a central Communist Party organizer and an editor of the Philadelphia Daily Worker. He was arrested, tried and convicted under the Smith Act in 1953, but eventually exhonerated for lack of evidence.

Boston: Richard G. Badger, 1913. First Edition. Octavo. Blue cloth boards lettered in black on spine and front cover; dustjacket; 274pp. Tight, Near Fine copy in a crisp, clean dustwrapper, Near Fine but for a spot of erosion at crown of spine panel. Collection of five scholarly lectures by the Scots-American classicist and historian of ideas, long-time head of the Department of Philosophy at The University of Michigan. Of the five works included, only the title essay - on the classical origins of modern Anarchist thought - deals directly with contemporary political movements. Not uncommonly for the period, the author conflates "anarchism" with other nominally "utopian" movements including socialism and communism. The collection includes four other essays on the subjects of Psychology, Education, and Classical Philosophy. A somewhat hard-to-find title in any condition, but truly scarce in dustwrapper.
