1964rif. 29183New York:: Random House 1964. First Printing of the First Edition. A Near Fine copy in a Fine extremely bright unclipped dust jacket. In this essay collection Ralph Ellison examines his antecedents and in so doing illuminates the literature music and culture of both black and white America. His range is virtuosic encompassing Mark Twain and Richard Wright Mahalia Jackson and Charlie Parker The Birth of a Nation and the Dante-esque landscape of Harlem—“the scene and symbol of the Negro’s perpetual alienation in the land of his birth.” Throughout he gives us what amounts to an episodic autobiography that traces his formation as a writer as well as the genesis of Invisible Man.Not only is Ellison a great writer of fiction but he truly excels as an essayist as he displays in this fine collection of some of his best work in a non-fiction role. He is one of the most cogent and articulate writers in the arena of ideas and assessments of culture and the arts. Random House, unknown

The maps which are in very nice condition show Pennant's route from London to Dover and then from Dover to the Isle of Wight. "Thomas Pennant was a Welsh antiquarian and naturalist whose works were very popular in the eighteenth century. His reputation was built on his important natural history survey British Zoology first printed in 1766 and his accounts of two tours of Scotland undertaken in 1769 and 1772. Pennant made further tours in Wales and in England between 1773 and 1787 and his popularity among amateur naturalists and antiquarians resulted in the development of a comprehensive network of correspondents many of whom supplied him with additional information that he added to subsequent editions of his works. Aside from his 1783 book describing the antiquities on the road between Chester and London and his immensely popular account of the antiquities of London none of Pennant’s English tours were published during his lifetime. This account of his 1787 tour to the Isle of Wight was edited by his son David and published in 1801. Rather than heading directly to the island Pennant’s tour took in much of the south-east coast of England travelling first from London to Dover before traversing the coasts of Kent and Sussex" Royal Collection Trust.

He describes the work in the Introduction as "a description of the Holy Land of to-day as seen through a young man's eyes.If my book is not that of a scholar it is at least the tale of a traveler who felt deeply the more than human interest that must always cling to that dead land which was the cradle of our great faith." A contemporary review wrote in The Dial "This is a rather careless and flippant account in a gossipy journalistic style.However the author's unconventional point of view lends a new aspect to some common experiences and there are some entertaining stories."
