‎Tropic of Cancer‎

‎New York: Medvsa 1940. An extraordinary copy in effect the dedication copy. First American edition designated by Shifreen & Jackson as the "Eighth Edition/First American Edition/Medvsa Edition. 1000 copies printed with an overrun of 200-500. "Before printing Gershon Legman added the colophon "Imprenta de México 1940" "for fun" and to direct attention from the 25th Street New York place of publication since the book was banned from the United States at the time." Shifreen & Jackson A9j. Miller's dear friend Emil Schnellock's copy with a full-page inscription by Miller to Schnellock on the front free endpaper: "Fredericksburg VA Dear Emil I don't remember the original dedication but this will do - like Shakespeare's horse you talk about - "for all time". To my friend Emil who standing on a street corner pushed me into that world I always wanted to see and finally saw. Hallelujah! Henry 12/1/44." There are pencil notes in the text but they appear to us to be in Schnellock's hand. Miller and Schnellock met as schoolboys at P.S. No. 85 in Brooklyn class of 1905 - "a standing joke between them as the letters show . . . They then went to different high schools and lost sight of each other for many years during which Schnellock traveled and studied in Europe. Thus when a chance encounter brought them together again in 1921 Miller regarded his old friend with awe marveling that na ordinary Brooklyn boy should have become an accomplished artist and cosmopolite. That encounter as Miller frequently remarked had a decisive influence on his life." - Introduction Letters to Emil p. vii. It is that "decisive moment" that Miller alludes to in his inscription. Accompanied by one of Schnellock's notebooks with drawings and text and a copy of Letters to Emil. Edited by George Wickes London: Carcanet 1990 which comprises Miller's voluminous correspondence with Schnellock from 1922-1934 a project that Miller had conceived in 1938: "In September 1938 Henry Miller announced among other works in preparation a book called "Letters to Emil" to be published in the Villa Seurat Series that he was then editing for the Obelisk Press in Paris. The letters . . . had recently been assembled and transcribed; only the task of editing remained. . . . what with the distractions of the Munich Crisis his struggles with Tropic of Capricorn his visit to Greece and the outbreak of the war he never got around to editing the letters." - Introduction Letters to Emil p. vii.

‎Tropic of Cancer.‎

‎Paris: The Obelisk Press 1938. Inscribed to a rakish poet and fellow mystic First edition third printing presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "To Audrey from Henry Miller who is now on the other side of the Equator preparing to write 'Draco and the Ecliptic'" his unrealised self-reflective mystical project. Tropic of Cancer was first published in 1934; early printings are rarely found inscribed. A "poet and eccentric" ODNB Audrey Beecham descended from Thomas Beecham the founder of the eponymous pharmaceuticals empire. She once took an extended holiday from her Oxford studies to run guns for the anarchists in the Spanish Civil War. When she left Oxford with a second-class degree in 1937 she moved to Paris where she befriended Miller Anaïs Nin who contributes the preface to Tropic and Lawrence Durrell. Miller the editor of Delta published a handful of Beecham's poems in the magazine. She was fascinated with witchcraft and folklore and "believed herself capable of casting spells and affecting friends and enemies by them" ODNB: she and Miller presumably bonded over their shared mysticism. In the 1940s Beecham spent much of her time in London where she garnered a serious poetic reputation and befriended Joe Ackerley and Dylan Thomas: "she prided herself on her mastery of martial arts and on her claim to have knocked out Dylan Thomas cold when he made unwelcome advances to her" ODNB To the surprise of her contemporaries she applied for and was appointed the warden of Nightingale Hall the women's residence at the University of Nottingham in 1950. Lord David Cecil remarked on her unexpected appointment that "There's no martinet like a reformed rake" ODNB. Miller wrote to many friends regarding "Draco and the Ecliptic". To Hermann Keyserling he defined the work as a "joyous book of the mystic"; to Emil Schnellock he foresaw it as "the heaven beyond heaven" Cosmotc; to Lawrence Durrell he admitted: "haven't the least idea what it will be like - just know it must be done" cited in Wickes. Octavo. Original light green wrappers with flaps wrappers lettered in dark green. Housed in a custom red cloth flat-backed box. Spine creased with short closed tears at joints wrappers soiled and sunned silverfishing at foot of front wrapper and flap edges nicked and rubbed text block toned firm and internally clean.

‎New York:: Grove Press 1961. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Near Fine tight square copy with owner name stamped on front pastedown in a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with a sreak of rubbing to the front panel. Tropic of Capricorn is Miller's semi-autobiographical novel first published by Obelisk Press in Paris in 1939. It is a prequel of sorts to Miller's first published novel 1934's Tropic of Cancer Sales of the book along with Tropic of Cancer were boosted by the controversy surrounding their censorship with complaints against Miller and his publisher on charges of pornography. Tropic of Capricorn was banned in the United States until a 1961 Justice Department ruling declared that its contents were not obscene After Grove Press published the novel in the US in September 1962 Miller gained a new younger generation of readers for his work which coincided with the sexual revolution of the 1960s. He was seen by many as a champion of the new sexual freedom and was endorsed by well-known literary figures of the time including Allen Ginsberg William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac.

This copy of the controversial prequel to Tropic of Cancer is from the first issue with the price of 60 francs printed on the spine and the errata slip tipped onto the title page. The recipients were the American engineer Edward Roberts and his wife Colette Roberts.

Wrinkling to spine uneven sunning to covers. Text block shows moderate age toning to edges and light age toning to pages generally increasing to moderate age toning at top edge. Shelved in Case 2. "Up to the present my idea of collaborating with myself has been to get off the gold standard of literature. My idea briefly has been to present a resurrection of the emotions to depict the conduct of a human being in the stratosphere of ideas that is in the grip of delirium." Henry Miller Tropic of Cancer. Miller's entire body of work may well be characterized by the concept of "self-collaboration" -- breaking out of long-held literary molds to become reacquainted with his own self and experience. He highlighted this autobiographical or confessional shift by the inclusion of a quote from Emerson prefacing the 1961 Grove Press edition of Tropic of Cancer: "These novels will give way by and by to diaries or autobiographies-captivating books if only a man knew how to choose among what he calls his experiences that which is really his experience and how to record truth truly." Known largely for the charges of obscenity leveled against it and its nearly three-decade censorship in the United States Tropic of Cancer is now recognized as something much more: an uncompromising attempt at self-revelation and the pursuit of a prose style up to the task. <br> <br> <br /> <br /> This is the first American edition privately printed in this pirated version of 1000 copies by Jacob Brussel under the fictitious imprint of 'New York / Medusa.' An overrun of 200 to 500 unbound sheets were printed for later distribution accounting for the nine variants which followed this first issue. The First Paperback Edition also the Seventh Medusa Variant. Printed in Mexico it precedes the authorized Grove Press 1961 American edition by more than two decades.
