Fine in a near fine dust jacket with a few small closed tears. Books signed by Carpenter are rare. Don Carpenter's Hard Rain Falling is a tough-as-nails account of being down and out but never down for good--a Dostoyevskian tale of crime punishment and the pursuit of an ever-elusive redemption. "Hard Rain Falling is a unique read; violent tender inexorable and melancholic; a beat-era book of disaffected young men devoid of On the Road euphoria but more poignant and gripping for its fatalistic grounding. The small lives contained herein are indelible" Richard Price. Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc hardcover books

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE POET SHELLEY.
London: George Allen & Unwin 1925. First edition. Spine slightly faded else nearly fine. First edition of these two complementary studies of Shelley both focusing on his psychosexual nature. Carpenter in the first part of the book is "impelled to conclude that the poet's nature was really intermediate or double in character -- INTERMEDIATE as between the masculine and feminine or DOUBLE as having that twofold outlook upon the world. The time has gone by when a remark of this kind could be interpreted as derogatory." In the second part Barnefield brings forward "considerable positive evidence from Shelley's life and writings to show that in him was a strangely double nature and that there was certainly a homosexual COMPONENT in his make-up."
