African American Interracial Romance in Mid Century Pulp Fiction Unchained Desire 1959

1959réf. 222201959. Demetre Margaret. Unchained Desire 1959 examines interracial romance and female sexuality through the conventions of mid-century American pulp fiction supporting research into the cultural representation of race gender and taboo relationships on the eve of the Civil Rights Movement. Published when interracial intimacy remained legally prohibited or socially condemned across much of the United States the novel belongs to a broader body of popular fiction that explored subjects largely excluded from mainstream publishing. Its narrative offers insight into how commercial fiction engaged contemporary anxieties surrounding racial identity women's autonomy and social boundaries. Demetre Margaret. Unchained Desire. New York: Comet Press Books 1959. First edition. 188 pages. Original cloth binding in illustrated red and cream dust jacket. The novel follows the daughter of a Cuban aristocratic family whose Black ancestry places her relationship with a wealthy white man from a racially prejudiced family at the center of the narrative. Drawing upon themes of forbidden love social hierarchy and inherited prejudice the story develops through conflicts over race family expectations and female agency rather than conventional domestic romance. Issued under Comet Press's "Milestone Book" imprint the volume reflects the publisher's emphasis on adult popular fiction addressing subjects considered controversial in postwar American culture. Appearing only a few years before the major legislative victories of the Civil Rights Movement Unchained Desire illustrates how popular fiction negotiated questions of interracial relationships before such themes became more visible in mainstream literature. Margaret Demetre born in Savannah Georgia to a Greek immigrant family wrote against the backdrop of a segregated Southern society whose racial divisions informed much contemporary popular fiction though direct connections between her biography and the novel's themes remain undocumented. Binding sound; pages clean; dust jacket with moderate edge wear creasing several small closed tears and old penciled pricing on the front panel; overall very good condition. An uncommon example of late-1950s pulp fiction documenting the intersection of race gender and popular literary culture during a pivotal period in American social history. unknown books

First published in 1585 Dyer's Ascuns Novel Cases-generally known simply as Dyer's Reports-contains cases heard in the Courts of Common Pleas King's Bench Exchequer and Chancery from 1513 to 1582. One of the pioneering publications of its kind it was the very first collection of legal precedents to be referred to regularly as "Reports." It remained a work of immense authority second only to the Year Books and went through six editions in Law-French the last appearing in 1688. The extensive annotations in this copy written primarily in a single precise seventeenth-century hand consist of case citations references to contemporary reporters and brief analytical glosses. In several places these notes are more expansive continuing or elaborating upon the printed text. The early owner who left these marks was likely the Edward Love admitted to Lincoln's Inn from Thavie's Inn in March of 1653 offering a compelling visual record of a seventeenth-century English law student or practitioner actively engagi. unknown books
