About this Item

**WINNER OF THE 1927 PULITZER PRIZE THIS ASSOCIATION COPY IS ONE OF 10 LETTERED AND SIGNED COPIES AND DEDICATED TO THE AUTHOR'S DAUGHTER RITA!** Whitman: An Interpretation in Narrative by Emory Holloway. Alfred A. Knopf, 1926. SIGNED AND LETTERED FIRST EDITION FIRST PRINTING. "OF THE FIRST EDITION OF WHITMAN ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY LARGE PAPER COPIES HAVE BEEN PRINTED AS FOLLOWS: TEN ON RAG PAPER SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR AND NUMBERED A TO J: ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY COPIES ON RAG PAPER SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR AND NUMBERED FROM 1 TO 140. THIS IS NUMBER D". This copy is also importantly dedicated by Emory Holloway to his daughter Rita " FOR RITA WITH LOVE FROM DAD, JUNE 23,1942." I also have listed on ABE Emory Holloway's only children's book Janice in Tomorrow-Land which was written for and dedicated to his daughter Rita. The reason for writing the Janice book is because he realized that his daughter Rita had never read any of his numerous biographical works on Walt Whitman. So the fact that this copy of Whitman is signed and dedicated to his daughter Rita had special meaning for both. An amazingly rare copy of this Pulitzer Prize winning book. Binding with a little give but still strong and intact and boards and spine have light wear but very presentable.
