Caldwell, Erskine,

God's Litle Acre with new introduction by author.

NY, Modern Library, (1934). 2nd ed. G ex-library edge wear esp spine ends library markings. From Caldwell's foreword, "This story was written over a period of about two years; it began with a paragraph of three or four. lines. How it ever came to grow to what it is now, I am positive I'll never know. During the year 1931 it took all the energy I could command to let it alone. But it would not be left alone. I kept on writing a few lines, and throwing them into the clothes-closet.And then one night, in the summer of 1932, I read all the scribbling I had done, and threw it into the waste basket.The only comment I object to is that which proclaims that the people in the book are 'poor whites' and 'poor white trash'. Poor white is a slick phrase that actually has no more comparative value than rich Negro would have.The term originated with the Negro and, unless this republic loses all semblance to a democracy, it will remain his term. If any explanation of this purely Negro expression is needed, it can be readily observed that the Negro has yet to sink as low, econimically and morally, as the white man.No man as yet has reached the depths to which a woman can sink, and I doubt very much if the Negro will fall to the lowest depts of the white race.Some day I hope those for and of whom this story was written will have the opportunity to read it. So far it seems that its readers have mainly been those seeking sansation and pornography. I would willingly trade ten thousand of those for a hundred readers among the boys and girls with whom I walked bare-footed to school in snow-crusted Tennessee winters and with whom I sweated through the summer nights in the mills of Georgia.".

CALDWELL, Erskine (1903-1987)

God's Little Acre

New York, Viking Press, 1933. First Edition. Hardcover. First Printing of Caldwell's finest novel, combining a powerful story with social protest and experimental narrative techniques. First Edition (so stated). 8vo (189 x 130mm): [6],303,[1]pp. Publisher's black cloth, spine and upper cover stamped in gold and green, top edge stained gold, other edges rough-trimmed,title page in maroon and black; Illustrated dust jacket priced $2.50. About Fine, with just a hint of fraying to spine ends, but square and tightly bound, the pages virtually pristine, without a trace of foxing. The lightly toned and dust-soiled dust jacket presents as Near Fine or better after skillful restoration to spine crown (not involving lettering or design). Blanck, p. 94 (erroneously reporting "first edition so stated on copyright page"). Coan, p.56. Hanna 564. The author's sequel (of sorts) to Tobacco Road, critiquing sharecropping and cotton farming while investigating the textile mill as an alternative for Southern workers, bringing Caldwell notoriety and fame (total worldwide sales have been estimated at more than 14 million copies, making it one of the best-selling novels of all time). "Both books were set among the poor whites of [Caldwell's] southern childhood, and both displayed a mixture of muckraking anger and grotesque sexual behavior that upset southern loyalists and northern moralists alike. Despite or because of this. God's Little Acre, after a highly publicized obscenity trial, became one of Caldwell's perennial bestsellers." (ANB). N. B.
