Author: ANDERSON, Sherwood
Title: The South: The Black, the White, and Other Problems Below the Mason Dixon Line
Publication: [no place given]: [no publisher given], undated [ca. 1925-26]
Edition: First Separate Edition
Description: First Separate Edition. Staplebound. 12mo, unpaginated [9pp.]. A very good copy in the publisher's stapled wraps with yapped edges. Edges a bit chipped, and there is a 1-inch split at the base of the spine, but still a clean, unmarked, intact copy. A rare separate edition of this provocative article which ran in the September, 1926 issue of Vanity Fair, hereby published separately. There is no printed date, but while OCLC records about a dozen listings with a presumed date of 1925, we imagine it likely appeared just after the 1926 Vanity Fair piece. Anderson muses on issues of race in the south, very consciously from a progressive (borderline radical) Northern/Midwestern perspective. A fragile rarity, and something that would instantly set any Sherwood Anderson collection apart from its peers. Library holdings (about 12) include the Morgan, Yale, Harry Ransom, and a few other distinguished collections. Very good.
