The recipient Katherine “Kit” Vidal was Eugene Vidal’s second wife; he married her in 1939 when she was a 20 year old model with the Powers Agency only six years older than Gore. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. A nice association. Gore Vidal's Narratives of Empire series spans the history of the United States from the Revolution to the post-World War II years. With their broad canvas and large cast of fictional and historical characters the novels in this series present a panorama of the American political and imperial experience as interpreted by one of its most worldly knowing and ironic observers. The centennial of the United States was celebrated with great fanfare--fireworks exhibitions pious calls to patriotism and perhaps the most underhanded political machination in the country's history: the theft of the presidency from Samuel Tilden in favor of Rutherford B. Hayes. This was the Gilded Age when robber barons held the purse strings of the nation and the party in power was determined to stay in power. Gore Vidal's 1876 gives us the news of the day through the eyes of Charlie Schuyler who has returned from exile to regain a lost fortune and arrange a marriage into New York society for his widowed daughter. And although Tammany Hall has faltered and Boss Tweed has fled the effects of corruption reach deep even into Schuyler's own family. "Vidal writes so well that you find yourself holding your breath over something that is a foregone conclusion. . . . Vidal's talent makes the bloated characters of Washington live in a way history books don't" The Boston Globe. Random House hardcover

1968rif. 21237171968. London: Anthony Blond. 1968. 8vo. Original black cloth spine lettered in gilt in the dust-jacket priced 35s. net to the front flap lettered in white and yellow; pp. 205 3; very slight spotting to upper and fore-edges jacket rubbed and nicked to spine tips and edges; a near-fine copy in a very good jacket; title-page signed by the author in black.An uncommon signed first UK edition first printing of Vidal's landmark novel is-sued with authorised excisions from the American text and carrying the author's sardonic note regarding his adaptation to the 'high moral climate that envelops the British Isles'.One of the most provocative and widely discussed novels of the 1960s and the author's own favourite among his works Myra Breckinridge is a flamboyant assault on the sexual and social orthodoxies of post-war America. Presented in the form of the diary of its transgender heroine - formerly Myron Breckinridge - the novel follows Myra's arrival in Hollywood where her project of social and sexual transformation unfolds amid the glamour artifice and kitsch of the film industry. Comic irreverent and subversive the novel antici-pated debates about gender and identity that would only later enter the cultural mainstream. Although the work was published uncut by Little Brown in the United States Vidal's London publisher Heinemann declined to issue it 'fearing that an association with the book would affect Heinemann's reputation in a way that would damage sales' Kaplan. Anthony Blond 'a smaller but less timid publisher' ibid. subsequently acquired the book on condition that Vidal 'would respond satisfactorily to pages of objections raised by its own lawyers some of which had to do with obscenity some with libel'. Vidal made the requisite alterations and cuts adding a characteristically tart note to the British edition: 'Wanting in every way to adapt to the high moral climate that envelops the British Isles the author has allowed certain excisions to be made in the American text.'The novel is dedicated to Christopher Isherwood who had dedicated A Single Man to Vidal four years earlier.Joshi 25.b.; Stanton p.11.
