The Great Tradition: An Interpretation of American Literature Since the CIVIL War

New York, The Macmillan Company, 1933. Hardcover. 8vo. Brown cloth with gilt lettering. x, 317pp. Very good. Ownership signature on front pastedown. Tight, clean first edition of this classic Depression-era, Marxist-influenced study -- with choice autograph addition: Tipped to inner flyleaf is a Typed Note Signed from Hicks, 1p, 5" X 8", Grafton, NY, 4 June 1940. Addressed to Arnold F. Gates (1914-93), notable Lincoln/Civil War scholar. Near fine. On brown-bordered imprinted letterhead. In response to Gates having expressed admiration for Hicks just-released novel "The First to Awaken" and also sending him a copy of his 1939 15-page pamphlet "Amberglow of Abraham Lincoln and Ann Rutledge," Hicks replies: "Your letter, coming so promptly after the appearance of the book, gives me great satisfaction. Thank you for writing it and for sending me 'Amberglow,' a charming and effective piece of writing." Boldly signed in black ink. Rather uncommon. This American literary critic, author and novelist (1901-82) gained fame as spokesman for the American proletarian literary movement of the 1930s, which made him one of the best-known Communists of his generation; he co-authored "John Reed: The Making of a Revolutionary" (1936) as well as quite a few nonfiction literary studies and some novels; in 1934 he became editor of the influential "The New Masses. .

Part of the Truth: An Autobiography

New York, Harcourt, Brace & World, 1965. Hardcover. 8vo. Grey cloth with white and black spine lettering, dust jacket. 314pp. Near fine/very good. Faint jacket edgewear only. Quite nice and tight early (not first) printing of this author's memoir -- and extra-illustrated with a unique frontispiece: Tipped facing title page is a Typed Note Signed from Hicks, 1p, 8¼" X 5¼", Grafton, NY, 10 October 1948. Addressed to Arnold F. Gates (1914-93), notable Lincoln/Civil War scholar. Near fine. On imprinted letterhead. Gates apparently contacted Hicks, who for many years acted as an editorial consultant for Macmillan Company, regarding an unidentified manuscript presumably by the wife of Mount Rushmore sculptor Gutzon Borglum -- wife #2 (Mary Montgomery Williams Borglum, 1874-1955). Hicks replies: "In what state is Mrs. Borglum's manuscript? If it is ready for the publisher, I should be glad to take a look at it and then send it on to Macmillan. If, on the other hand, it has to be put in final shape, and she is looking for advice and/or assistance, I don't know that I have time to spend on it. Will you let me know about this? I'd rather not get in touch with her until I have a little more information.." Boldly signed in full in black ink. (Interestingly, a pamphlet titled "Gutzon Borglum: A Brief Sketch of His Life and Work" by her was published by the Mount Rushmore Memorial Society in 1941 and a full-length book titled "Give the Man Room: The Story of Gutzon Borglum" by her and Robert J. Casey was published in 1952 by Bobbs-Merrill.) American literary critic, author and novelist Hicks (1901-82) gained fame as spokesman for the American proletarian literary movement of the 1930s, which made him one of the best-known Communists of his generation; he co-authored "John Reed: The Making of a Revolutionary" (1936) as well as quite a few nonfiction literary studies and some novels; in 1934 he became editor of the influential "The New Masses. .

To: All Friends of the Hickses

This American literary critic, author and novelist (1901-82) gained fame as spokesman for the American proletarian literary movement of the 1930s, which made him one of the best-known Communists of his generation; he authored "The Great Tradition: An Interpretation of American Literature since the Civil War" (1933), co-authored "John Reed: The Making of a Revolutionary" (1936) and became editor of the influential "The New Masses" in 1934. Printed handbill, 2pp (recto and verso), 8½" X 14", n.p. n.y. [1956]. Near fine. Original horizontal mailing folds. You know those annoying mimeographed Christmas missives that pose as Christmas cards, boastfully reciting trips taken, family events and other "news" involving friends and relatives only half of whom you've ever heard of? Well, this is one of those, as privately issued by this noted critic for limited distribution to friends and families. It's simply a typed, single spaced, two-sided affair mimeographed on a single sheet, unsigned. Unlike those you receive from your Aunt Ruth or Cousin Earl, Granville Hicks's end-of-year update includes mention of the many literary figures in whose circles he circulated: Malcolm Cowley, Harvey Swados, Wright Morris, Newton Arvin, Daniel Aaron, etc. Hicks's activities, too, tend to be less mundane than most: For instance, "THE LITERARY PROJECT of the year has been the editing of a symposium. Contributors: Wright Morris, Herbert Gold, Saul Bellow, Harvey Swados, Mark Harris, Jessamyn West, Ralph Ellison.. to say things that need saying about the serious novel, its present predicament and possibilities." ("The Living Novel: A Symposium" appeared in 1957.) He opens, though, with the death of his mother; discusses his seminar on novel writing at the New School; short trips ("We had a night in Sherman with the Cowleys"); the comings and goings of many literary guests; the death of their old Jeep and arrival of "a brand new jeep station wagon, which we treat with a tenderness the jeep would have scorned." And you thought tjhose tiresome printed Christmas letters were a newer phenomenon! Quite interesting, amusing and unusual literary artifact – and scarce as well, produced in a small quantity for friends and family only. .
