Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The Dial, October 1923 Volume LXXV Number 4; Containing Jean Toomer's Review of Waldo Frank's Holiday; Ed. Scofield Thayer Waldo Frank was upset due to the fact that Toomer failed to portray that Frank had spent time in the south and was writing from experience - "Your opening paragraph suggests that in your opinion there is no meeting ground between my reality in Holiday and the reality which exists fundamentally in the South. I know you do not say this, and you do not believe it. But in your omission of the opposite, there is the suggestion of this. And I regret it, because practically all the critics are jumping on me for not knowing the South, and you are one man who knows I do, who was in a position to state so with some authority." - Waldo Frank letter to Jean Toomer Tan wraps printed in black, pp. xvi, [1], 314-416, xvii-xxxii + 8 illustrated plates; VG- condition, some chipping to spine ends, fraying to wrap edges, light soil to wraps, three minor annotations in pencil [Pfeiffer, Kathleen.

These are the six issues of The Dial from January 1920 to June 1920, bound together. Illustrated with numerous B&W reproductions. The Dial was an American magazine published intermittently from 1840 to 1929. In its first form, from 1840 to 1844, it served as the chief publication of the Transcendentalists. From the 1880s to 1919 it was revived as a political review and literary criticism magazine. From 1920 to 1929 it was an influential outlet for modernist literature in English. The Dial was re-established in 1920 by Scofield Thayer and Dr. James Sibley Watson. Jr. as a literary magazine, the form for which it was most successful and best known. Under Watson's and Thayer's sway The Dial published remarkably influential artwork, poetry and fiction, including William Butler Yeats' "The Second Coming" and the first United States publication of T.
