About this Item

Octavo. Bound in publisher's original salmon wraps printed in black. iv,[3],272-360,v-vii pp. Plates, frontis color plate by Paul Gauguin tipped in. Usual oversized wrappers, else a very fine, pristine copy. Lawrence's work appears here in its first publication on pages 287-301. Other notable writers and artists whose works appear in this issue are George Whitsett, John Eglinton, George Santayana, Winslow Homer, Alfred Kreymborg, Gaston Lachaise, J. J. Lankes, Raffaello Piccoli, and others. From September 1920, until July 1929, the last issue of THE DIAL, thirty of Lawrence's works appeared in twenty-five issues of this brilliant magazine founded by Scofield Thayer. THE DIAL affected the course of Lawrence's later life. Thayer induced Lawrence to write Sea and Sardinia; Mabel Dodge Sterne (later Luhan) read Sea and Sardinia in THE DIAL, and persuaded Lawrence to come to America. Marianne Moore, Thayer's successor, unwittingly helped Lawrence get his final volume of verse, Pansies, past British postal censors." -- Joost & Sullivan, 1970. . Seller Inventory # 649
