Dust Jacket Condition: dj. Second printing. Second printing. Drawings by Edward Gorey. 1 vols. 8vo. With ANS from Felicia Lamport to Ashley Montagu laid in. Felicia Lamport (1916-1999) was a well-known political satirist and writer of light verse. Her work was featured widely in newspapers and magazines such as the Atlantic, Harper's, and The New Yorker. Among Lamport's other books are Mink on Weekdays (1950), Cultural Slag (1966), and Political Plumlines (1984). Her legendary writing classes at Harvard and at the Harvard Extension School made Lamport a significant figure in Cambridge. Her papers (at Harvard) include plays, articles, verse, correspondence, teaching materials, and other writings. Ms. Lamport was equally at home parodying T. S. Eliot in "The Love Song of R. Milhous Nixon, 1973" ("Let us go then, in my plane/For a weekend of repose in Key Biscayne") as she was with John Keats in her "Ode to a Grecian Urn." Toledano B14c Pale yellow cloth.
